Excerpt from Guy Rivers, Vol. 1 of 2: A Tale of Georgia
Standing some peril from the ruman knife, Or, at the best, a cold and roofless tent, 'neath the bare sky.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the tale of Ralph Colleton, a young man growing up in the American South during a period of great change. His father, an adventurer, has lost his fortune and is struggling to make a new life for himself and his son in the wild frontier of Tennessee. Ralph, however, is sent to live with his wealthy and proper uncle in South Carolina. The contrast between the two brothers, one a reckless gambler and the other a shrewd businessman, is a central theme in the book. The author explores the complexities of family relationships, the changing nature of American society in the early 19th century, and the role of wealth and status in shaping individual lives. As Ralph matures, his relationship with his beautiful cousin Edith becomes a source of both intense passion and deep conflict. The book's rich descriptions of life on the frontier, the tension between tradition and modernity, and the power of love and ambition make it a compelling and unforgettable read.
