|
The author has traced the life of a man, Ezekiel Buffington 1740-1819, by documenting unobtrusively each time his name occurs in extant records. The agon of this novel is the conflict resulting from a man's upbringing and the ensuing events in his life. Raised a Quaker in PA with the no fighting onus he becomes a trader to the Cherokee in a century which engaged in one war after another. The secondary theme is love for his family. A motif is the strength he derives from his first wife whose name we do not know. Those interested in the development of the south in ethics, both religious and philosophical, and of a small love story will like this book.
