The story of Tilman Manus is compelling. Born in the middle
Tennessee hills in 1835 when Andrew Jackson was President, he
learned early the meaning of hard work. Leaving Cannon Country to
transport the Wallace family to Shreveport, Tilman and Uncle James
decide to seek a future in the fertile Mississippi River land of
Union County, Illinois. An eyewitness to some of the greatest
events of history, Manus attended a Lincoln-Douglas debate, fought
for the Union in the Civil War under Grant, helped lay the tracks
for the railroad, and was a farmer who found the secret of a long
life in simple living. Nearing the age of 106, Tilman lived to see
the Roosevelt New Deal and the great depression. He was a
remarkable man and quite the storyteller. In this historical
fiction novel, Keith Pruitt, a kinsman, relates the remarkable
nature of a bygone era.
