An Ann Arborite, Professor Silas Douglas, became the first president of Michigan’s Historical Society. He was a teenager who witnessed the 1818 Maumee River treaty signing by seven tribes for President Monroe’s Erie Canal. The names of the tribes and the individual natives have been preserved in the Ann Arbor Public Library.

North Parish follows the diplomats around the Great Lakes.

* * * * *
Parish North is the blonde adopted son of a Huron native, and with his manhood-quest completed in time for his father’s trip with a Jesuit bishop, he’s allowed to participate in the efforts to secure powwow agreements from seven tribes around the Great Lakes for the building of the Erie Canal. During the trip, Parish recognizes his vision temptress in Dorothy Evans.

Hoping to join the delegation, Dorothy Evans dreams of escaping duties as her mother’s cook-helper at Fort Detroit. Exciting windows to the wider world open for the girl in the Fort’s Jesuit library. Two centuries worth of European books convince her everything good and pure comes from nature. And when Dorothy meets the blond native, Parish North, she feels her heart quicken when he smiles in her direction. She’s positive Parish is half of her future.

When a bishop assigned to the trip persuades Dorothy’s mother to allow him to chaperon her intelligent daughter on the trip to facilitate her education, Dorothy’s mother accepts his kind offer with the comforting knowledge that Dorothy is under the protection of a man of the Church. But the Bishop’s intentions may not be as pure as they appear and Dorothy’s virtue is in danger. Will the Bishop’s unholy plan succeed?

A Tender Historical Romance

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 19, 2014

Ordinarily I don't read historical romances, but the free sample of "North Parish" (thank-you Amazon) could make me a fan. I found the book's regional history as fascinating as its characters. A young blonde Indian, a beautiful girl, a missionary bishop with a secret yen for the girl –– these and others really kept me reading until I got to the end of the book. It didn't disappoint. The author weaves a lovely young romance into an early period of authentic American history.

North Parish

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 26, 2017

The gorgeous cover of this book is what drew me in at a local book festival last year. This is a sweet, educational and well-written historical novel that American history buffs and Michigan/Toledo, Ohio residents will especially appreciate. Having lived for five years where this book takes place, I felt a special connection and really admired the author's ability to weave so much history into the story of these characters.

Historic Love Story Has Great Appeal

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 4, 2014

North Parish by Rohn Federbush was a wonderful read, thoroughly researched and beautifully written—almost mystical. I knew nothing about this period of American history—the time when powwow agreements from seven tribes around the Great Lakes were secured for the building of the Erie Canal. I fell in love with this 1817 historical romance and its characters. Young Dorothy and Parish North are very believable and their love story is sweet and satisfying. There are some great secondary characters. The novel offered a unique perspective on history and enhanced the overall story. I would highly recommend it.
