The Journey of the French Coat: Adventures in the Wilds from Old
Fort Niagara to the Our House Tavern is an engaging and
illuminating regional historical fiction book directed toward youth
and young adults. Dr. Gretchen Duling's background and experience
in teaching Social Studies, as a Gifted Programming Specialist, to
youth and her writing and publication success in varying genres
provided the development of an interesting style of writing and
approach to history which is both engaging, exciting and easy
reading for youth and adults. Over a number of years she
extensively researched and gathered data which is interspersed into
the story of a gold velvet French coat's journey through several
historic time periods from 1759 to 1825. The geographical region
covered is from Fort Niagara in Western New York to the Our House
Tavern in the southern Ohio River town of Gallipolis, Ohio. Dr.
Duling knows these regions well because she lives near Fort Niagara
in Youngstown, New York, and was born, raised and educated in
Gallipolis, Ohio. Which was once called an exotic French frontier
colony. She integrates the history and story with actual events
involving Iroquois Indians, white English settlers, French settlers
escaping the French Revolution and the tour of General Marquis de
Lafayette as "Guest of the Nation" in 1825. The coat's journey
comes full circle by possibly ending where it began. An actual gold
velvet French coat on which this story is based does still exist.
Western New York's history has many connections to the history of
other regions. As one reader wrote: "The Journey of the French
Coat: Adventures in the Wilds from Old Fort Niagara to the Our
House Tavern, is a good example of the never ending trail of
history with one trail leading yet to another."
