About the Book

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.


About the Author

Born and reared near New York’s Mohawk Valley, Gil Herkimer (Allen G. Herkimer, Jr.) traveled extensively throughout the United States and overseas as a corporate executive, management consultant, university professor, and textbook author.

Upon retirement as professor emeritus, he returned to his first loves---traveling, beach combing, promoting jazz, and studying history.  He proudly declares himself a native New Yorker, who lived in Southern California for nearly twenty years. He presently resides over looking beautiful Corpus Christi Bay in Texas.

Herkimer’s first novel, Roads to Oriskany, is the first book of his Roads trilogy, which includes Roads to Saratoga and Roads to Niagara.  His next book, Steps Toward Freedom, about America’s First Civil War is scheduled for publication early 2005.
