About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1956. BCE/BOMC. Hardcover textured. VeryGood/Acceptable. Zussman, Irving. 5.75"x8.5" 219 numbered pgs. Tan textured boards w/green embossed letters and design. Top edge painted green. Deckled edge. Spine straight, binding tight, pages clean w/soft tone. Not x-library, unclipped (no price), & unmarked. Severe chips and mended tears to DJ wrapped in mylar. Samuel Moore and his daughter Hannah set out for the border country with a party led by George Rogers Clark but left to follow the Kentucky River to Boones' Fort. As the story opens, Hannah is nursing her father, injured when an axe slips and cuts his leg. By the time Tice Fowler, on his way to Logan's Fort, stumbles upon them alone in the wilderness, Samuel is dying from blood poisoning. When Samuel dies, Tice takes Hannah to the fort, where women are scarce, and Hannah finds herself besieged by suitors. Only with Tice, as silent and downright as herself, does Hannah feel at ease. Finally, she turns to the bashful Tice and asks him to marry her and take her away from the crowded fort. Together, they take their claim to land, build a cabin, and start a family. They endure the harsh frontier life, the threat of hungry wolves, a killing blizzard, and Indian raids. Hannah is an unforgettable character -- tall, physically and psychologically strong, the epitome of frontier womanhood -- brought to life by a woman who knew and loved the Kentucky people and setting about which she wrote.
