In 1789 a small band of Indians attacked the Wiley cabin and killed Jennie's three older children and her brother. Jennie was taken captive along with her baby son. Quickly, the Indians and their captives moved westward into what is now Kentucky. Jennie's only hope for herself and her child was to keep pace with her captors. The Indians moved northwest into the Big Sandy Valley of Kentucky. Unable to cross the flooded Ohio River, they retreated to a series of winter camps in present~day Carter, Lawrence, and Johnson (Kentucky) Counties. With only a rock bluff for shelter, Jennie spent the winter laboring as a slave. After almost a year in captivity, Jennie escaped, miraculously evading pursuit as she made her way to a small settlement at Harman's Station on John's Creek, where settlers helped her return to her husband. The author, Arville Wheeler. was inspired to write this book because his grandmother told him the story of Jennie Wiley when he was a child. It's a great book for readers in grades 4~8 but teenagers and adults will enjoy it. too. Bengtz, Ture (illustratore). …

Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. 6"x9"x1". 367 pgs. Cover design by Jim Marsh. Introduction by Margaret Ripley Wolfe. Spine straight, binding tight, pages clean and bright. Not x-library, unclipped, unmarked. GIFT QUALITY. "Harry M. Caudill's explosive novel tells the story of Appalachia's shrewdest, most powerful political boss, Dr. Tom Bonhom. Educated well beyond his fellow mountaineers, Doc Bonhom started out as a well-paid coal company doctor. He ran for office only once-as a reform candidate-and lost. His defeat turned him to gathering political power from the influential rich instead of from the voters and he built a political machine that controlled Slaughter County for over three decades. He brought jobs, schools, roads, and millions of state and federal dollars into his county. At the same time, he unwittingly brought his people to complete dependency on government aid and unthinkingly encouraged the destruction of the countryside through strip mining. His critics claimed that Doc Bonham was an opportunist who rose as his community sank. Yet through it all, he remained as American as apple pie, and when the governor appointed him to fill an unexpired term in the U.S. Senate, he went there a hero. This book contains some adult language and may not be suitable for younger readers." Goodreads 4.0. Jim Marsh (illustratore).…
