- Book Synopsis
- When Patricia and Russell Vincent took an evening stroll through their neighborhood in 1981, they had no idea where that walk would lead them. They spotted a few old headstones standing alone in a grassy field, some dating back to the late 1700s, and their curiosity was sparked. This evening would lead them to an important discovery in their hometown of Monroe, Michigan. The Orbs of Frenchtown reflects on the importance of place by exploring the early settlement of Monroe called Frenchtown, through its destruction during the War of 1812, and the ghosts the Vincents found along the way. This historical work shows the links that connect us to history by looking into America's past. The determination of the Vincents' quest ultimately stands as a tribute to the contributions of this special couple during the later years of their lives, and to the town they held dear.
