Foreword: The story you are about to enjoy is of a young lady who lived in the early 1800's. She traveled to Europe at her mother's insistence for a husband and almost married a Baron, but found him unfaithful. She returned to America and married a common worker. After her marriage, she and her husband traveled through virgin forests and over primitive roads to southern Ohio. It is here that she spent her life aiding the people in and around Pine Grove Furnace.
This is a historical fiction novel based upon historical facts that have been gleaned from old newspapers, old letters, old journals, interviews with descendents of people directly involved, census records, and genealogical records. I have researched for this book 3 1/2 years.
The characters in this book are fictitous except for those in public domain.
It is my hope that you will enjoy reading this novel and will learn of the life in the early 1800's--their joys, their dreams and their sorrows.
