Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Engels, M. Fran. Three creeks to cross. New York: Comet Press Books, 1956, 191pp., very good dust-jacket, original price $3.00, very good light blue cloth, slight wear and rubbing to edges of covers, previous owner's address label inside front cover. Dust-jacket design by Barbara Koski. Author's real name: Madyne Frances Engelhardt. Fiction set in the Civil War period. - The Civil War came late to the rugged foothills of the Ozarks, but when it did invade the little German community of Hermann, Missouri, its impact was electrifying. It sent Field Krausmeier off to don Confederate gray, and it brought Yankee Locke Gordon into lovely Valli Du Pre’s life. Valli was the girl Field had left behind. He could not know that in saving a Yankee strangers life, she would lose her heart. But Lockes warm gray eyes stirred in Valli a love she could not denyr and it was only the memory of that forbidden love that sustained her in the bitter years ahead. There were the dark days in St. Louis, when her brother-in-law Blair Shannon fell in love with her and used that love as a whip to bring about the death of her sister Sylvanie. There were the long years without word from Locke; the averted heads and sly whispers that greeted her when she returned to Hermann with a two-year-old boy. And there was the horror of that summer day in the cornfield when a single shotgun blast unveiled a dark secret and changed the course of Valli’s life. More than the story of Valli Du Pre, though, THREE CHEEKS TO CROSS is also a picture of a way of life, and simple people who were caught up in the backwash of a war they neither wanted nor understood. You will read about the Du Pres - Helga and Jock - who believed that children needed understanding rather than the strap; the Krausmeiers, a warm and friendly couple who took Valli into their home and, almost, to their hearts; and Mahabatel Cobb, the community spinster, whose malicious tongue brought shame and scandal down upon Valli. THREE CREEKS TO CROSS is a first novel by an author to take note of. M. Fran Engels has contributed a warm and vivid romance to the fiction roster of Civil War books. Jacket designed by Barbara Koski. ISBN B006VSHBAW.…
