On Yonder Mountain
Milly Howard is a teacher and a writer with an interest in the history of our nation.  She tries to create believable characters that will make the past live for her readers.  Many of the problems and characteristics of her story people are drawn from experiences with her own children, and they provide an effective bridge from the past to the present.  It is her prayer that the lessons learned by the children of the past will provide some light for the children of the present and of the future.
