James Fox

＂In his epic novel Etched in Stone Where the Buffalo Roam, James R. Fox took us on a historical roller-coaster ride that was peopled with famous figures. In his latest, Great Smoky Mountain Mystery, he introduces us to an 1830 Amish village in the shadow of Thunderhead Mountain where sharing the land with the Cherokee could be problematic ... and deadly.＂ - George Davidson, Zoo in a Book When Minister Fallow Crowder led his Amish flock to the place called Dutch Bottoms in the Great Smoky Mountains, he had no idea they would be facing marauding Cherokee, witches, and a mysterious bounty hunter. Were Duncan Edge and Branch Walker friend or foe? Was Ida Mae truly evil? Did the Indian brave Mohe love the Minister’s daughter? Was there gold to be found in the creeks? And would the boy Cassidy and his dog Flea find the Spanish treasure that was rumored to be buried nearby? Jim Fox has woven another historical tapestry that takes you back to a more dangerous age in those scenic mountains that straddle North Carolina and Tennessee.
