Flint Bluff (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781645400950)

Flint Bluff, a silver medal winner from the Independent Publishers, has received high praise from its readers. The novel is an extraordinary saga following three generations in the lives of several families as they settle a frontier community along the Mississippi River, which would become the city of Burlington, Iowa.

Award winning author James Duermeyer creates a colorful tapestry of the period of 1833 to 1900 in which the American frontier became a magnet, drawing individuals to the vast lands of the newly opened Louisiana Purchase. You will meet European immigrants, Native Americans, and African Americans as they all make their way in this new community. Based on true historical events of the era, this richly detailed fictional story follows key figures of two families as they grow and face tremendous challenges, including Indian attacks, outlaws, the growing pains of the frontier town, participation in the siege of Vicksburg during Civil War, as well as strained family dynamics.

The author skillfully incorporates events of humor, character-building, pathos, love, war, crime, and spirituality in this exciting, entertaining, and informative read that you will surely enjoy.
