Description

by Rock Foster. The pioneers of the late 18th century were undaunted despite living under the constant fear of Indian attack, wild animals and often impossible living conditions, but, were these their greatest threat! What about the land speculators of the
eastern cities? How could the courts put them out of the very cabins they had built with their sweat and take away the ferry which held such promise there on the banks of the Gauley River? Experience life with these children of the wilderness on the American frontier long before it reached the Ohio River. Journey with the Hughes family as they leave the security of the tidewater and travel into the forested Promised Land of western Virginia.
