My second historical novel, The Winds of Change, is the sequel to Mountains of Stone. The Winds of Change is concerned with the early effects of westward expansion on the Northwest and Plains Indians. The time frame for Winds of Change is 1810 to 1813. My plan was for Winds of Change to go through the rendezvous system, but there was just too much interesting history associated with Tecumseh and the Northwest Indian Wars, Mountain Man-Indian Fur Trade, Factory Trading System, Astorians, and Western Expansion .

The picture CD that accompanies The Winds of Change contains different pictures than those of the Mountains of Stone CD. Click on logo to see a representative sample of pictures.
