À propos de l?auteur

This book is the third installment of the COLD SPRINGS series, written by Seneca author, Stephen A. Gordon. He was born and raised on the Seneca Allegany Territory. Stephen grew up during an era of change and relocation for his Seneca people. That trauma lay hidden inside his soul until it surfaced in recurring dreams of his Cold Springs home. The impact of witnessing the burning of his family home traveled with him throughout his lifetime. The writing of his first book, COLD SPRINGS My Home, My Memories, allowed him the opportunity to release those nightmares. It was in that writing that he came to a conclusion, it wasn't the loss of the home that nagged at him, it was the loss of family and friends that lived in those tranquil days in Cold Springs. His books commemorate and honor those people and bring them back to life if only for that moment. Stephen's constant hope is that other's will write down their fondest memories and recall days that truly were a gentler time.
