About

The author grew up in the rural Town of West Greenwich, Rhode Island, surrounded by old-growth forests, abandoned farmsteads, and stonework. After spending nearly four decades in New England, he relocated to Arizona, where he resides with his wife and son.

The author has unearthed forgotten stories of native people from all over New England. Readers can find his writing in the Mashantucket Pequot Research Library, the Minuteman Library Network, and the Bulletin of the Massachusetts Archaeological Society.

The author of Strengthened Resolve aims to confront the prevailing professional dogma that suggests native people in New England lacked the ability to build stone structures before European influence. The book chronicles the historical record's racism and bias, its permeation into the fields of archaeology and anthropology, and the destruction, desecration, and looting of numerous sites before they gained wider recognition within Euro-American society.
