"The world of Hunter's Horn is situated in the hills of Kentucky, whre the scrub pine and sumac are taking over the worn-out fields, and the people - no matter how ragged and hungry at times - live with a zest and a dramatic sense of bothy joy and sorrow unknown in more sophisticated places. Over a brush fire in the dead of night, we listen with Nunn Ballew to the baying of the hounds as they follow the great red fox, ing Devil. And we understand why Nunn must keep chasing the perverse creature, and must buy pedigreed puppies, though his fences fall to ruin, his farm stock dwindles, and his family goes in want. We go to school with the 'youngens' in a one-room cabin. We share with young Suse her ardent longing to go to high school, her first kiss, her dreams of glamorous, far-away Detroit. We laugh with the neighbors over Nunn's first and only attempt at moonshining, and share his pride in the beautiful pupies who are to be King Devil's nemesis. We weep for Lureenie, whose tragedy is as simple and real as that of the deserted girl in an old Kentucky ballad. We encounter the sharp-tongued old midwife, Sue Annie - and dozens of others, all described with rich earthy humor and affections." 0808N0100H4 Historical Fiction more information

I have found it next to impossible to include in a single volume of fiction more than the sketchiest outline of the complications that plagued the existence of Franklin. I have tried, however, to give some idea of living conditions there, of the character and temper and casual, incredible courage of the young men and women who blazed trails and created a civilization where only a few short years before there had been nothing but an opulent wilderness."

"Riverboat life on the Ohio...Pittsburgh, St. Louis in the early 1820's...and the warmly written story of a beautiful woman claimed by two men - as wife and bride. That cold spring morning of 1821 seemed to hold no promise - only sadness - for lovely young Constance Page. Her beloved father had just died and the man she loved, handsome, iimpetuous Ruel Fox, had disappeared from her life as suddenly as he had entered it - furious that Constance would not leave her ailing father and go with him to Texas. But then, in the midst of her sorrow, Ruel returned, knowing that he could never leave behind the woman he had loved on first sigiht. Colorful and authentic in its picture of the Ohio River country in the early nineteenth century, it brings to stirring life both the spirit of the times and the courage of a loved and loving woman forced to make, in one brief night, the decision that would shape all her tomorrows." 0204N0000A4 Historical Fiction more information
