Lecture
and Book Signing
Robert Moss
Sir William Johnson and the New York Frontier
2:00 pm
FREE
Robert Moss, the author of The Firekeeper: A Narrative of
the New York Frontier, brings alive the world in which America was born, when a
clash of empires produced the first worldwide war and Albany was the
Casablanca of the age. Filled with great men—George Washington, Benjamin
Franklin, the Mohawk Hendrick Tehayanoken—and the battles that opened
the way for the American Revolution, The Firekeeper follows the
exploits of Sir William Johnson, an Irish adventurer with a rage for
life, who created a tribal kingdom on the New York frontier. Johnson
defended the “First Peoples” against white men who were bent on
genocide, and led the Mohawks into battle on the English side in the
French and Indian War. Robert Moss is a novelist, journalist, historian,
and lifelong dream explorer. For many years he has taught and practiced
active dreaming, an original synthesis of dream work and shamanic
techniques. His novels include the three-volume cycle of the Iroquois,
Fire Along the Sky; The Firekeeper; and The Interpreter.
