About the Author

Dennis Montgomery lives and writes in Claremont, a James River hamlet deep in Virginia's Tidewater. A journalist for more than 30 years, the Virginia-born author has served the world's largest news service, a Piedmont daily and small-town weeklies as a writer and editor, and he has long contributed to journals and magazines devoted to history, law and business. Montgomery's feature stories on the American Revolution helped win him a National Endowment for the Humanities journalism fellowship at the University of Michigan and he is a scriptwriter of three prize-winning historical videos; among them The Rockefeller Family and Colonial Williamsburg. His interest in the Rev. Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin's contribution to the restoration of 18th-century Williamsburg began during Montgomery's years as a senior staff writer at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. He is completing work on his next book, Starving Time, the story of early Jamestown.
