Clouds Tumbled into the Valley

By Carl Engel

Book Overview

As the turbulent 1850s propel a nation to war, a young man is kicked off the family farm in Pennsylvania and journeys west to Kansas in search of adventure. A skilled horseman, he's recruited into John Brown's militia of Jayhawkers, raiding pro-slave settlements and liberating slaves along the border with Missouri. From there he races back east, joining his zealous leader in the famous assault on the U.S. Armory and Arsenal in Harpers Ferry, regarded as the spark that ignited the Civil War. This is the true story of Albert Hazlett, a tale of violence and friendship that takes readers across the fields of Bleeding Kansas, through winding Appalachian ravines, and delivers them to the front line of American history.
