description: Derek Robinson tells the story of a small pioneer community in deepest Kentucky across a century from its founding in the 1820s, through the Civil War, to the dawn of the modern age. Following several generations of two unreconcilable families: the Hudds and the Killicks, Robinson creates a gallery of unforgettable characters and delivers a powerful and wholly persuasive account of the transition from slavery to relative freedom for the former slaves of each clan.
