The Crossing

Set in the late 18th-century American frontier, this historical novel follows young Davy Trimble from his birth in a cabin under the Blue Ridge to his adventures across the Appalachian Mountains. Guided by his enigmatic father and inspired by the legendary Daniel Boone, Davy encounters the perils and wonders of the borderland, including Indian conflicts and the promise of rich new lands. The narrative, rich with period detail, traces his journey through settlements, wilderness trails, and into the heart of the Ohio Valley, culminating in events tied to George Rogers Clark's campaign. A tale of survival, growth, and the spirit of exploration.
