Long Hunt (9781101559208) (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
In his own mind he was simply one more frontiersman, one with particularly apt skills for playing out his role in life, perhaps, but in the end, merely another man. His arrival in Jonesborough had provided a quick reminder that others were not so casual in their assessment of him. He was more than a man; he was a symbol, of his time and his place and his frontier. Like Franklin leader John Sevier, who found himself thrust into leadership both political and military virtually everywhere he went, Fain could not live the life of an ordinary man. It simply wasn’t allowed by those around him. He had not been in Jonesborough a day before word of his arrival spread and visitors began to pay call. Fain had intended to reside in an inn or boardinghouse, but instead he and his entourage were invited, almost compelled, to join the household of Matthew Stuart, a local merchant and active citizen who had already made a moderate fortune for himself on the east Carolina coast before coming west on a quest to see what further fortunes life might bring him in a new country.
