About This Book

A fictionalized account built around an early frontier minister portrays his itinerant ministry and encounters across rural Kentucky. Episodes move from camp meetings and fervent singing to frontier pastimes like horse races, and to moral and legal conflicts including feuds, rowdyism, horse theft, moonshiners, and lynch mobs confronted by gospel influence. Efforts to establish a mission school, a kidnapping and subsequent search and rescue, romantic developments, and community reckonings culminate in reconciliation and marriage, blending religious fervor, rustic life, and frontier justice.
