Gloria Waldron Hukle , a native and resident of New York State, is the author of five historical novels.

A student of history, Hukle's objective is to arouse an awakening in America's uniquely diverse culture through story, spotlighting many of the first  American immigrants, the early New York Dutch and African settlers.  Her stories give voice to those who settled at Manhattan and beyond. The voices of  first Europeans, their  African American servants, craftsmen and formidable Native American leaders such as King Hendrick are heard again.  With a blend of authentic fact and spellbinding fiction, little known, by-gone residents of New York come to life. 

Hukle's commitment to community and  historical preservation has taken her to schools, libraries, book clubs, and historical associations nationwide.. Many of these engagements can be viewed on this site.
