First published in 1853, The Blackwater Chronicle is a rollicking adventure story set in the wilds of Virginia. Kennedy, a lawyer and writer, takes us on a journey deep into the heart of the Appalachian wilderness, where he and a group of companions encounter all manner of dangers and obstacles. Part travelogue, part tall tale, The Blackwater Chronicle is a vivid and entertaining portrait of life on the frontier in the mid-19th century.
