Second Saturday Lecture- Using Family Lore as the Basis for a Historical Novel

Presented by York County History Center at York County Historical Society Museum

“Answering Liberty’s Call: Anna Stone’s Daring Ride to Valley Forge” is based on family legend and events in the lives of the author’s six times great-grandparents.

“War may be men’s business, but that doesn’t stop Anna Stone from getting involved in the
fight for liberty. When her soldier husband and brothers face starvation and disease at Valley Forge, Anna is not content to pray and worry. She gets on her horse and strikes out alone over two hundred miles of rough terrain to bring them life-sustaining supplies.”

In a career spanning nearly three decades, Tracy Lawson has been a dance teacher, a studio owner, and to date has choreographed thirty-three musicals for middle and high school students.
When faced with a mid-life career change spurred by a cross-country move for her husband’s job, Tracy adopted the motto, “have laptop, will travel.” Within a few years, she achieved a lifelong goal and published her first book, based on the 1838 travel journal of her great-great-great grandfather. Fips, Bots, Doggeries, and More won Best Nonfiction History in the 2012 Ohio Professional Writers Association Book Awards.
