Learn More About Tom’s Great Historical Fiction Novel:
After the death of Major General Bennet Riley in June1853, his beloved wife Arabella reflects upon their life together – their happy times, his challenges on the battlefield, and their personal tragedies.
The reader will be taken on a journey that traces his rise during a forty-year army career that saw him advance in rank during service in all of the major conflicts of his nation during the first half of the 19th century and placed him in a role where he would be considered the father of California statehood.
They lived on the western prairies and in tropical Florida, but Buffalo New York became the place that truly became home for Bennet and Arabella during and after his remarkable military career. It is a love story that spans one of the greatest eras in American history.
