Both haunted and driven by his memories of Africa, he embarks on an epic quest through the treacherous pinewoods, swamps, and river bottoms of the Southern frontier. He encounters renegades and thieves, traitors and mercenaries, and the dark prophetic magic of the forest before he finally finds himself within the walls of a remote fort on the Apalachicola River. There, he becomes the reluctant companion of several hundred runaway slaves once recruited by the British to fight in the War of 1812, then abandoned to fend for themselves against the American forces intent on destroying their remarkable stronghold. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspired by actual events, and at times both violent and beautiful, \u003ci\u003eThe Eden Hunter\u003c\/i\u003e provides a fascinating glimpse at a forgotten, bloody chapter in our nation's history through the eyes of one truly remarkable hero.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSkip Horack\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the story collection \u003ci\u003eThe Southern Cross\u003c\/i\u003e.
