Synopsis
A forgotten token. A damaged eighteenth-century ship. A mystery connecting colonial East Florida to modern Jacksonville.
The Lost Crest of York is a historical novel that moves between British East Florida and the present day, following evidence left behind by people whose lives intersected along the St. Johns River more than two centuries ago. As a modern investigation begins to uncover fragments of the past, objects, documents, geography, family history, and competing interpretations raise a larger question: How much can we really know about people whose stories survive only in pieces?
Set in the world of eighteenth-century Atlantic trade, migration, maritime travel, colonial settlement, and the communities surrounding Cow Ford—the crossing that would eventually become Jacksonville—the novel brings Florida and Georgia history into a story of discovery rather than presenting the past as a collection of dates and names.
At the same time, The Lost Crest of York is designed to encourage readers to think about evidence. Which sources can be trusted? What can an artifact actually prove? When does plausible interpretation become a conclusion, and what evidence might prove that conclusion wrong?
Written for general readers as well as students in grades 7-12, the novel can be incorporated into English language arts, history, social studies, geography, civics, science, and interdisciplinary instruction. Its Florida and Georgia settings offer students an opportunity to connect larger events in British and colonial American history with places much closer to home.
Teacher curriculum companions for Florida and Georgia extent those connections through standards-aligned instructional material, historical context, evidence-evaluation activities, discussion questions, and exercises in critical thinking.
The Lost Crest of York invites readers to enter the mystery—but also to examine how the mystery is solved. Because history is not simply what happened. History is what the surviving evidence allows us to understand about what happened.
