Following the War of Independence against the British Crown, a band
of Tennessee settlers begins to carve out a new state in a young
nation but face the opposition of the federal government and bloody
resistance from the Chickamauga Indians. In this untamed land Owen
Killefer, a slender lad barely in his teens, will face a trial by
fire at the hands of white men and Indians alike -- and find within
himself a stout spirit as strong as that of any frontiersman.
The third volume in The Tennessee Frontier Trilogy, The
Canebrake Men is a saga of adventure set in the period from 1785 to
1800. In it Cameron Judd paints a portrait of the unforgettable men
and women whose vision, passion, and pain gave rise to the new
nation, such as:
-- Joshua Coulter, who had made a life amid the dangers of the
rugged frontier and had been tamed by the Tennessee Wilderness,
only to discover again a deep restlessness that stirred in his
heart
-- Owen Killefer, who set out for the Chickamauga country as a boy
to avenge a bloody crime
-- Emaline Killefer, who was torn from her family in a bloody raid
by a British deserter and taken to live among the Chickamauga as
his unwilling wife
-- John Sevier, the frontiersman who led raids against the Indians
and was named governor of a would-be state the federal government
never recognized
-- Andrew Jackson, a brash young lawyer with a fiery temper, who
first met Joshua Colter as an opponent in a brawl but soon became a
strong ally and loyal friend
