James T. Powers
Author of Saving the Farm; A Journey through Time, Place, and Redemption and Seeing the Past; Stories on the Trail of a Yankee Millwright, and now On the Edge of Uncertainty: The Siege and Battles of Saybrook Fort during the Pequot War, 1636-1637.
Look for the latest book by James, an historical novel that chronicles the impact of English colonization on the Quinnipiac people during the 17th century. Shadows Over Dawnland will be released during the summer of 2021 by the Beacon Publishing Group.
James T. Powers first developed a life-long love of history while growing up in the old industrial town of Wallingford, Connecticut where he came to realize that the past was all around us and that by connecting to it we could come to better understand who we are. Following graduation from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, James committed himself to a career of sharing that love through the teaching of history.
Over the years, his interests and expertise have expanded to include local archeology and the study of 17th to 19th Century New England architecture both of which he taught during his career at Guilford High School in Guilford, Connecticut. Besides a BA, James has also received two Masters Degrees from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut.
His first book, Saving the Farm; A Journey through Time, Place, and Redemption published by Homebound Publications (homeboundpublications.com), is a product of his passion for the past. His second book, Seeing the Past; Stories on the Trail of a Yankee Millwright (homeboundpublications.com) tells little known stories in Connecticut history as he follows the life of 19th century millwright Milo Todd. James and his wife Adriana live in an 18th Century home in Durham, Connecticut. Both are available by contacting James at jpowers1741@gmail.
James is proud to announce the recent publication of On the Edge of Uncertainty: The Siege and Battles of Saybrook Fort during the Pequot War. For a copy contact the Old Saybrook Historical Society at http://saybrookhistory.org.
James is excited to announce the start of his Historic Property Consultation company: Seeking the Past Historical Consulting specializing in the architectural and biographical history of historic properties and helping school systems and local historical organizations develop educational programs based upon local historical resources.
