This mythical tale begin's in the early eighteen hundreds and
follows an old Indian path, that hundreds and thousands of familys may have taken as they moved west in search of
free land.
The setting is a small Virginia Plantation somewhere east of
the Blue Ridge mountains. From this location will emerge the son of a wealthy planter, a large roaring mountain
man and a big starry eyed slave boy. The path they will take through the pages of this book will carry them west beyond the
Blue Ridge, through the Cumberland Gap and into the wilderness land of Kentucky.
The trails they follow will be forever marked by the legends of the
young well to do Virginia planter, his deadly accurate long black whip, the one sided fights of the roaring mountain man and
the thurndering sounds of the cracking table's under the powerful arm of the big black slave boy.
The enduring love affair of the young Virginia planter and his
sophisticated Virginia lady will endure through the trails of the harsh wilderness land of Kentucky to a tiny log cabin that
will be forever remembered as a place called "Paradise".
The trails they follow beyond Paradise will one day come to an end
as their grandson drives his stake deep into the ground in the Panhandle of Oklahoma territory. There he challenges anyone
who dare to jump his claim, marking the end of the family's last search for free land.
