New England favorite, Howard Frank Mosher, here to share from his latest
Vermont's own Howard Frank Mosher will be sharing from his latest novel, Walking to Gatlinburg. He is the accomplished author of such novels as On Kingdom Mountain, A Stranger in the Kingdom, and Northern Borders.
Library Journal gave Walking to Gatlinburg a glowing review:
"Late in the Civil War, 17-year-old Morgan Kinneson from northern Vermont gets deeply involved with his family's participation in the Underground Railroad when the slave he's leading toward Canada is murdered. Overwhelmed by remorse (he had wandered away to hunt a moose), he sets off on an odyssey in search of his older brother, Pilgrim, who was reported missing from the Union army. With the slave's murderers on his trail and carrying a mysterious stone he found in the murdered man's pockets, Morgan meets up with a wild variety of characters as his path leads him toward the Great Smokey Mountains. VERDICT A colorful re-creation of the era and a likable and engaging protagonist recommend this book to lovers of classically told adventure tales."
Help us welcome back Howard to Water Street at the tail end of his nationwide tour for Walking to Gatlinburg.
