description: A story of the frontiers of western Pennsylvania. Against this historical background is told the story of the Murrays and their neighbors, of Violet the daughter, who suddenly realized that she was in love with her foster brother, Hugh, and of how Hugh felt he must play a man's part before he declared his love for her. Authentic pictures of frontier life, of the crudeness of the houses and the furnishings, of the superstitions, old wives tales, religious quirks, and of the essential faith in liberty and democracy. Good substantial historical fiction, by author of The Rolling Years.
