1787: An American Frontier Tale (Jeffery Larsh Historical Novels)($29.99Value)

Description

This saga transports you to the years following the Revolutionary War, during the westward expansion beyond the Appalachian Mountains. Under the Articles of Confederation, the United States government was weak and deeply in debt, with only a small standing army. Most European nations doubted the fledgling country would survive. At the same time, Lenape, Miami, and Shawnee leaders forged an alliance to resist the growing American encroachment. Into this turbulent landscape comes a group of military veterans and their families, rooted deeply in Indigenous culture, seeking a new life in the wilderness of northern Kentucky and hoping to live in peace. They are led by Paul Larsh, a frontiersman of the old order, heartsick over the loss of his beloved wife, Alice. But the path to Kentucky will be neither easy nor straightforward, as the challenges of nature, man, and disease await. Along the way, Paul unexpectedly finds love again—and is tested physically and morally as never before in an odyssey that echoes across generations.
