Synopsis

In Ohio Country, 1854, twelve-year-old Margaret flees a terrible epidemic devastating her Ohio Seneca clan. Mentored in the ancient arts of medicine and healing at a young age, she travels to Wheeling, Virginia, in search of a new life with her mother and Shaman grandmother.

When Margaret finds herself suddenly orphaned, she is thrust into the wilderness and an impending winter storm. Abandoned amid fur trappers, wild animals, and fierce weather, she struggles to survive the treacherous journey along with her two beloved wolves, Hato and Kake.

An unexpected betrayal leads Margaret into servitude on a Virginia plantation. Her captivity changes the course of her life forever and sets her on a path of mercy as a medicine woman during the darkest hour of American History--The Civil War. A chance encounter with a Union soldier leaves Margaret torn between two very different worlds and one very forbidden love.

The Search for the Grave Site of George Puchalski

The Search for the Grave Site of George Puchalski I had several goals for my recent trip to Warren and Southington, Ohio. One of these goals was to locate the grave site of my great grandfather, George Puchalski. Based on George's death certificate and a funeral listing in the Warren Chronicle in 1920, I was certain he was buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Warren, Ohio. Now to find him. I left my home base in North Canton and traveled forty or so miles to Warren along with my father and brother. We made our way along Market Street towards the cemetery, gazing at old buildings and old homes and wondering if my grandfather Stanley had seen these same buildings and homes when he escaped the orphanage on his way to freedom.

We pulled into St. Mary's Cemetery with high hopes and nervous excitement, ready to locate our ancestor and document the find

Finally Found the Exact Location of the Puchalski Farm

I visited the Trumbull County Library where a couple of very helpful ladies in the Genealogy section located a census from 1920 showing the Puchalski family lived near a road called, Herner County Line Road. A road that runs around 8 miles in length. I took a drive and looked around, knowing my ancestor's farm was somewhere nearby.  My next stop was a visit to the Warren Historical Society. I gave them a copy of my book and told them my story. They were so intrigued by the story they went to work immediately, researching the history and trying to help me locate the farm.

There was no address on the deed, but there was a detailed legal description of the property along with names of pri
