White Wool and Yellow GoldMy grandmother, Effie Proud Sutton, wrote this historical treasure, which I published posthumously.
In the early 1900s, newlyweds Mary and John Marcus, settle in a remote mining town in Idaho's Owyhee Mountains. Mary strives to provide for her growing family as John chases his dream to strike it rich. Their divergent paths soon threaten their survival and marriage. The author's firsthand experience of time and place allows the reader to smell the dust of the new town of Caldwell; feel the isolation of winters in Wagontown; and hear the rumbling of the DeLamar Mine. It was a time of freighters, steam locomotion, and foot travel; kerosene lanterns and home births; when survival depended on constant, arduous work and the interdependency of families and community. |
