Excerpt from Stringtown on the Pike, Vol. 1: A Tale of Northenmost Kentucky
Bloody Hollow. In this Silent dell I now lay alone The Stringtown Grocery where the Village Circle met The abandoned Stringtown Schoolhouse Where once stood a battery of brass field guns I bade all my Stringtown friends good - bye I love the dust of that old pike Where Cluster others who live to love, and pray and die.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a captivating journey through the rural landscapes of Kentucky, delving into the lives and experiences of its inhabitants during a time of historical transformation. The author masterfully weaves together elements of folklore, superstition, and the realities of life in the aftermath of the Civil War. Through the eyes of Sammy Drew, a young boy with a passion for chemistry, we witness the complexities of a community grappling with social change, racial tensions, and the enduring power of tradition. The narrative explores themes of prejudice, redemption, and the search for identity in a society marked by both progress and the ghosts of the past. Central to the story is the enigmatic figure of Cupe, an elderly formerly enslaved man whose wisdom and deep connection to the land offer Sammy guidance and a unique perspective on the world. As Sammy navigates the challenges of adolescence and the mysteries of Bloody Hollow, Cupe's pronouncements and interpretations of signs and omens add a layer of intrigue and suspense to the narrative. Ultimately, this book offers profound insights into the human experience, revealing the ways in which individuals and communities confront their histories, embrace change, and strive for understanding in the face of uncertainty.
