1787: An American Frontier Tale Kindle Edition

This sweeping saga will transport you to the period 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 a minuscule standing army. Most European nations did not expect the fledgling country to survive. At the same time, Lenape, Miami, and Shawnee leaders formed an alliance to fight the growing American encroachment. Enter into this scenario a group of military veterans and their families, with deep roots in the indigenous culture, who wish to make a new life in the wilderness of northern Kentucky and live in peace. They are led by Paul Larsh, a frontiersman of the old order, heartsick over the loss of his beloved wife, Alice.

Paul, who unexpectedly finds love again along the way, will be tested physically and morally like never before in an odyssey that will resonate throughout the pages. Read more
