SUMMARY:Lora Chilton to Read & Discuss 1666: A Novel at Virginia Commonwealth University
DESCRIPTION:Lora Chilton, author of 1666: A Novel joins an impressive lineup in the Virginia Commonwealth University Speakers Series, where she’ll be reading from and discussing her historical fiction novel on November 21st, 2024 from 4pm-6pm. \nEVENT LOCATION:\nVirginia Commonwealth University\n920 W. Franklin St.\nRichmond, Virginia 23284\nExact location will be announced soon! For more information, please visit the venue site at: https://humanitiescenter.vcu.edu/events/1666-a-novel-reading-and-discussion.html\nAbout 1666: A Novel:\nThe survival story of the Patawomeck Tribe of Virginia has been remembered within the tribe for generations, but the massacre of Patawomeck men and the enslavement of women and children by land hungry colonists in 1666 has been mostly unknown outside of the tribe until now. Author Lora Chilton, a member of the tribe through the lineage of her father, has created this powerful fictional retelling of the survival of the tribe through the lives of three women.\n1666: A Novel is the imagined story of the Indigenous Patawomeck women who lived through the decimation of their tribe in the summer of 1666. Told in first person point of view, this historical novel is the harrowing account of the Patawomeck women who were sold and transported to Barbados via slave ship. The women are separated and bought by different sugar plantations, and their experiences as slaves diverge as they encounter the decadence and clashing cultures of the Anglican, Quaker, Jewish and African populations living in sugar rich “Little England” in the 1660’s. The book explores the Patawomeck customs around food, family and rites of passage that defined daily life before the tribe was condemned to “utter destruction” by vote of the Virginia General Assembly. The desire to return to the land they call home fuels the women as they bravely plot their escape from Barbados.\nAbout Lora Chilton:\nA member of the Patawomeck Indian Tribe of Virginia, Lora Chilton tells the story of her people and their unlikely survival due to the courage of three Patawomeck women. As a part of the process, she interviewed tribal elders, researched colonial documents and studied the Patawomeck language. Chilton graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. She has worked as a Registered Nurse, a small business owner, an elected official, a non-profit executive and a writer. Memphis is her home. 1666: A Novel is her second work of historical fiction.\n
