Welcome

Robert John Andrews specializes in human interest columns with a spiritual twist, where local issues and neighborhood topics provide a window to the universal.  It is so average.  So incredibly special.  Give me my ordinary everyday, neat.

 

See Columns under Projects for my newest columns, Selma:  "Some admire cross.  Others carry them."

​

I am grateful to announce that Sunbury Press, Boiling Springs, has published my latest book: 

A Susquehanna Tale.

​

It can be purchased direct from Sunbury Press, Inc., Catamount Press division.  Or from Amazon.com.  

​

“It was the time of rifle, tomahawk, and knife.  It was the time of plough, axe, and endurance. It was the time when blood flowed into the waters of the Susquehanna River.  1750 to 1800.  Colonial Susquehanna Valley. The contested boundary between hungry settlers and Iroquois Confederacy.  It was a time of hope and loss.”

 

“Alexander Tennant chooses a life as a frontier scout rather than following his family footsteps by pastoring in the Presbyterian Church.  Tennant felt a different calling.  Armed with a gift for languages and a Pennsylvania flintlock, Tennant faces the perils and loneliness of this wilderness, his conscience troubled and his honor tested by the tensions between settlers and natives, battling against the fury and cunning of enemies during the wars of conquest, wars of retribution, and wars of desperation fought along the banks and tributaries of the Susquehanna.”
