Beyond The Peace River

By Virgil Griffis

In 1858, James Nash, after three generations in Georgia, wanted to start anew. Despite all warnings against such a move, he uprooted his family. The land was there for the taking, but he never expected the price to be extracted in such hideous ways. Polly, his wife, would follow, knowing little of the Florida wilderness. But knowledge would be forced on her in ways she could never have imagined. Their children considered it a grand adventure, unable to know that adventure often brings misery. The horrid lessons would come hard and fast. Luke, James's brother, would lead them. Brushing aside warnings that they could never reach the Peace River deep in the Florida wilderness, they tried. They could have drawn a map of Florida in blood-some their own.
