A father and his two young children die in a Cholera epidemic in 1854. A 13-year-old son is shot and killed during an 1864 Civil War raid by the Confederate army. A blacksmith in the Oklahoma Indian Territory in the 1890s recounts his experiences among the outlaws and Indians. A man sustains a head injury during the Spanish-American war and becomes an axe murderer. Three white daughters marry African-American husbands in the 1930s and 1940s. Their stories-and many more-were obtained from old family letters and journals. Included are tales from the author's personal experience while growing up in Arkansas.

Great stories!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Shaking The Cotton Trees (Paperback)
I enjoyed reading through the family stories in this book. Even though the stories weren't of my own family, they gave me a great minds-eye-view of where and how my g-grandprents and gg-grandparents might've lived in Logan county, Arkansas. The things and places that are described in this book I'm sure my family seen too. I wish that more people would compile, and publish stuff like this!
