Author Description

Born and reared in the Mohawk Valley, New York, area, Gil Herkimer (Allen G. Herkimer, Jr.) traveled extensively throughout the United States and overseas as a corporate executive, university professor, and textbook author. He has returned in his retirement years to his first two loves: studying history and playing jazz. Herkimer and his wife, Fay, proudly declare themselves to be native New Yorkers who lived in Southern California for nearly twenty years. They now reside in southwest Texas with their cat, K.C., and they continue to travel and play bridge. Among Herkimer's future plans is writing a sequel to Roads to Oriskany.
