This is a historical fiction novel based upon historical facts that have been gleaned from old newspapers, old letters, old journals, interviews with descendents of people directly involved, census records, and genealogical records. I have researched for this book 3 1/2 years.
The characters in this book are fictitous except for those in public domain.
It is my hope that you will enjoy reading this novel and will learn of the life in the early 1800's--their joys, their dreams and their sorrows.
