New Book in The Yocum Library


Thirteen Moons
by Charles Frazier

*In another 19th-century venture, the author of the National Book Award-winning Cold Mountain dispatches a 12-year-old boy named Will on a man-size mission. Given only a horse, a key, and a map, this callow youth is sent alone into Indian country to run a trading post. Thrust into a frontier society where everything is uncertain, Will places his allegiance on the side of the embattled Cherokees and his love in the elusive hands of a young woman he won in a card game. A love story set in a fully imagined borderland world.
