Book excerpt: Meet yesteryear's hardbitten pioneers, hostile Indians, and chilling supernatural beings in the Piney Woods. As you listen with awe to the whisperings of the huge pines, this book peoples the forests with faces and figures of those who lived there long ago ... whose voices still live in the murmurings of the winds and the trees. Relive vivid violence of the 1842 Shelby County war between Moderators and Regulators, as both factions vie for control of law enforcement, at a cost of one hundred or more lives. Thrill to the daring of four lovely young matrons who acted as spies in the intelligence system of the Regulators.
