The Carolinian follows the life of Abraham Rallemore in the 1800s--raw-recruit in General Andrew Jackson’s army . . . fighting against the use of slaves on his plantation . . . gambling for a different life . . . driven by the call of adventure . . . and risking death for his beliefs.The book brilliantly captures the essence of the pioneer spirit in a time of tremendous American growth and exploration as men and women carve out new lives on the American prairie, revealing in the process the roots of a nation’s greatness and its darkest shame as civil war looms.
