Overview

Local author Jason Cherry will discuss his latest book, William Trent: Factor of Ambition, which explores the life of William Trent and his forgotten place in eighteen century history. The book is a new definitive look through the eyes of a misunderstood backcountry merchant who not only overcame obstacles and suffered loss, but whose rebellious interactions with future founding fathers Benjamin Franklin and George Washington helped shape and form the future United States of America.
