Kateri - A Beacon in the Wilderness

Casey, Jack: - JACK CASEY originally wrote about St. Kateri in the 1980s but his devotion to her has deepened since then and he witnessed her Canonization ceremony in Rome. Casey is a solo practice attorney who has handled civil, criminal and constitutional matters for thirty years. In HAMILTON'S CHOICE, Casey dramatizes the last three years of Alexander Hamilton's life, and plausibly explains why he went to his first and fatal duel. Casey's other books include INTO THE HEARTLAND, a sweeping saga of adversity and triumph around the building of the Erie Canal (1810-1825) and THE TRIAL OF BAT SHEA, the true story of a wrongly executed Irish-American scapegoat. Casey graduated with honors from Yale University and Albany Law School and lives in Troy, NY and Raleigh, NC with his wife and editor, Victoria.
