Moccasin Trace
Hawk MacKinney
Published: July 2, 2023 (originally 2006)
…it was about the land.
It is July of 1859, a month of sweltering dog days and feverish emotional bombast. Life is good for widower Rundell Ingram and his hazel-eyed, roan-haired son, Hamilton. Between the two of them, they take care of Moccasin Hollow, their sprawling ancestral plantation home in the rolling farming country outside Queensborough Towne in east Georgia. Adjoining Ingram lands is Wisteria Bend, the vast slave-holding plantation of Andrew and Corinthia Greer, their daughter Sarah, and son Benjamin.

Adjoining Ingram lands is Wisteria Bend, the vast slave-holding plantation of Andrew and Corinthia Greer, their daughter Sarah, and son Benjamin.
Both families share generations of long-accepted traditions, and childhood playmates are no longer children. The rangy, even-tempered Norman-Scottish young Hamilton is smitten with Sarah, who has become an enticing capricious beauty—the young lovers more in love with each passing day, and only pleasant times ahead of them.
…but a blood tide of war is sweeping across the South, a tide that will forever change everyone and everything.

An Exclusive Excerpt from Moccasin Trace:
By late spring and early summer the Confederacy gained two more states, North Carolina and Tennessee were out of the Union. Missouri never got out, but she copied bloody Kansas, and Confederate defenses on the upper Mississippi crumbled. Maryland and Delaware didn't make it out either. Neither did all of Virginia, and Kentucky proved Rundell wrong. She declared neutral, which neither camp cared about. The stakes were edging higher, getting meaner. Unemployment fell. Plantations and bustling cities profited from a better than average run of prosperity.
