Yale Village, Appalachia: and how it might have begun

By L. Gale

In the year 1784 romance blossoms in unexpected places on the frontier. Kentucky is still part of Virginia and the First Nations clash with pioneers in the struggle to settle western Appalachia while the newly forming United States is established. Follow key members of the backwater village of Yale, Kentucky before its history was committed to paper and before it was intentionally submerged to create a lake. In spite of real and ever-present dangers, several love stories are woven together in and around the village, including two inter-racial marriages between Shawnee tribal members and Christian settlers who encounter them, as spiritual traditions are explored and means of survival are found in the face of mounting social and geographical tensions.
