- Synopsis
- In her third novel of the Kentucky frontier, Janice Holt Giles combines her fascination for the past with her gift for storytelling. Had it not been for the loyalty of men like Giles’s fictional hero, Major Cassius Cartwright, General James Wilkinson’s 1783 attempt to create a Spanish empire in the West might have succeeded. Interwoven with the Spanish Conspiracy are tales of struggles with Indians, of the birth of a Green River Valley town, and of the two women Cass loves: Rachel, a gentle Quaker, and Tattie, a fiery waif he rescues from Philadelphia slums. Like Giles’s earlier historical novels The Kentuckians, Hannah Fowler, and The Believers, The Land Beyond the Mountains is an engaging story of adventure and romance. First published in 1958, this reprint gives Giles fans another lively piece of Kentucky’s frontier history.
