The discovery of a Native American war club in the foundation of the author's childhood home in Massachusetts led her to delve into its history and the people who forged it, resulting in "The Pond Dwellers."This sequel, "Settlers by the Pond," gives a historical account of Tristum Davis, the man who built the home where the club was found and fought for the right to stay. It is a story that begins in Wales with King Arthur and Merlin in the 1600s, tells of the unfathomable struggles the early settlers faced, and ends with a revolution and the ultimate founding of a new country.For those who appreciate the retelling of American history based on years of careful research, this book is for you.
