The Madstone : a novel / by Crook, Elizabeth,author.;
"The year is 1868, in the remote hill country near San Antonio, Texas. Nineteen-year-old Benjamin Shreve, an unassuming woodworker, spends most of his time in his workshop, minding his business. One day, however, after a stagecoach passenger is stranded, Benjamin agrees to help the man catch up to the stagecoach that holds all his worldly possessions. Thus begins the unexpected adventure of a lifetime, for when they reach the stagecoach, Benjamin meets its other two other passengers: Nell, a pregnant young woman, and her four-year-old son, Tot, whose wide-eyed exuberance immediately speaks to Benjamin's protective impulses. When he learns that mother and son are fleeing men intent on harming them, he agrees to give them passage all the way to the Gulf of Mexico, where they can catch a ferry to safety. The act of chivalry will prove more dangerous than he could have known, as buried secrets -- including a cursed necklace and the emperor of Mexico -- rise to the surface. Even as Benjamin falls deeply in love with Nell and imagines a life as Tot's father, Nell's violent pursuers are hot on their trail, leading to a conclusion whose pulsing drama is matched only by its beauty and poignancy. Written in the form of a letter from Benjamin to Tot after the events of the novel have settled, The Madstone delivers one of the most beloved and endearing narrators you will ever encounter, in the unforgettable story of three characters who forge a love that will seal them into each other's hearts forever"--

Blood and treasure : Daniel Boone and the fight for America's first frontier / by Drury, Bob,author.; Clavin, Thomas,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The explosive true saga of the legendary figure, Daniel Boone, and the bloody struggle for America's frontier by two bestselling authors at the height of their writing power--Bob Drury and Tom Clavin. It is the mid-eighteenth century, and in the 13 colonies founded by Great Britain, anxious colonists desperate to conquer and settle North America's "First Frontier" beyond the Appalachian Mountains engage in a never-ending series of bloody battles. These violent conflicts are waged against the Native American tribes whose lands they covet, The French, and finally against the mother country itself in an American Revolution destined to reverberate around the world. This is the setting of Blood and Treasure and the guide to this epic narrative is none other than America's first and arguably greatest pathfinder Daniel Boone-not the coonskin cap-wearing caricature of popular culture but the flesh-and-blood frontiersman and Revolutionary War hero whose explorations into the forested frontier beyond the great mountains would become the stuff of legend. Now, thanks to painstaking research by two award-winning authors, the story of the brutal birth of the United States is told through the eyes of both the ordinary and larger-than-life men and women, white and Native American, who witnessed it. This fast-paced and fiery narrative, fueled by contemporary diaries and journals, newspaper reports, and eyewitness accounts, is a stirring chronicle of the conflict over America's "First Frontier" that places the reader at the center of this remarkable epoch and its gripping tales of courage and sacrifice"--
