Marilyn Dungan

A River Away

Valentine Thomas Dalton accompanied George Rogers Clark on an expedition that historians argue was the most extraordinary feat of the Revolutionary War. Unfortunately, Dalton family research also suggests that Valentine participated in Clark’s two private and little known military actions that were thought to be treasonable missions against America. Corroborated by vintage photographs, copies of letters, court records and other documents, this book implies that Captain Dalton infiltrated the Spanish high command as a spy under General Clark. This book tells the story of Captain Dalton who intimately knew the historical figures portrayed in this novel of love, revenge and survival.

Marilyn Dungan, author of the Laney McVey series, has paused in her series to pursue a mystery of her own – the identity of four subjects in vintage photographs found in her father’s papers. This book is the result of five years of research. She lives in the Bluegrass Area of Kentucky.
