Spanning the years 1666 to 1712 Gathering Driftwood is a story of people of vastly different cultures seeking secure homes and how they come together.
The Kanien'keha: ka have lived along the Mohawk river valley for centuries living an egalitarian way of life that respects the earth. Their traditions become threatened by priests and European monarchies.
German serfs living under the rule of princes face starvation and find hope in the idea of free land in America not realizing they must endure another kind of serfdom under the English Crown.
Enslaved Africans seek refuge among the Kanien'keha: ka.
Based upon historical events and experiences Gathering Driftwood brings to life a seldom heard tale of the American experience, one that offers new perspectives on the peopling of America. It explores the lengths to which we will go to find and hold on to home. This is the first in a trilogy about the multicultural communities that flourished for a time in the Mohawk and Schoharie River Valleys up to the end of the American Revolution.
