GRINDSTONE is a Civil War novel set in the 1000 Islands. In 1865, a young man was brutally murdered near Grindstone Island. Documented accounts connect the man to a Confederate spy ring centered in Toronto, responsible for the attempted firebombing of New York City, an act of terrorism described by the New York Times as “One of the most Fiendish and Inhuman Acts Known to Modern Times.”GRINDSTONE is told from the perspectives of a Confederate spy and a young Irish woman living alone on Grindstone Island. Every family along the St. Lawrence has been touched by the war, and during the same period, thousands of Irish immigrants are settling in the region under dire circumstances. Far from the front no one in the islands can escape the dark undercurrents of the war. Grindstone by Donna Walsh Inglehart
