Through a Gold Eagle
Like her librarian heroine Glynis Tryon, Miriam Grace Monfredo must be a voracious polymath,  interested in everything from high fashion to the work involved in making fake bills and coins. Both  subjects play important roles in her fourth book, another historical mystery set in the upstate New York  town of Seneca Falls, this time in 1859. But even though her story is full almost to the point of bursting  with issues such as slavery and women's rights and real characters such as Abraham Lincoln and  abolitionist John Brown, Monfredo also manages to keep us interested in her fictional creations as they deal  with their daily lives against the canvas of history. Other books in this rewarding series available in  paperback areSeneca Falls Inheritance,North Star Conspiracy, andBlackwater Spirits.
