Winthrop resident pens novel 'Boys of Summer' of family life during Civil War

Posted

WINTHROP -- A local resident recently penned a novel.

Lucien N. Plante is the author of “Boys of Summer,” which tells the tale of two families during the Civil War.

Plante’s parents moved to the U.S. from Canada before he was born “so that their children could live [the] ‘American Dream,’” according to his publicist, Courtney Alvey.

“My parents knew how to work hard and complain little,” Plante said in a prepared statement. “They always expected us to try.”

He served in the U.S. Marines, went on to work in the manufacturing industry and retired early, Alvey said.

“Now, Plante shares stories of what life might have been like for some of the earlier

citizens of the country of which he is so thankful to be a part,” according to Alvey.
