The Free State of Carroll (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781439248393)

The Free State of Carroll is a non-fiction novel set in 1830s Carrollton on the western edge of the Georgia frontier. Indians, horse thieves, and a desperate vigilante group collide with an indomitable sheriff in a true-life adventure rivaling the best westerns. Readers get a glimpse of the hardscrabble life early Georgians endured and a feel for the volatile political climate that eventually lead to the Civil War. Although the stalwart characters featured in this novel do not appear in history books, they were the founding fathers and mothers of Carroll County. Their lives helped shape the destiny of our great state. The Free State of Carroll introduces these characters to modern readers and will hopefully assure they are not forgotten.
