Cry of the Grey Wolf J Edward Corley

Adventure stories which take place during the 1860's with a pioneer family who live in the Black Water Region of the pan handle of Florida. Jed Jackson is away fighting the war while his wife Emily and their three children try to survive and maintain the family homestead in his absence. A big black dog (Paladin) protects her and the children in Jed's absence. For history lovers a detailed, factual account of the days leading up to and including the Battle of Mobile Bay. The stories include an Indian prophecy told to Jed as a boy by an old Medcine Man which comes to pass in later years. The stories span 100 years from 1845 to 1945. My accounts of these stories were told to me as a child as I sat spellbound listing to my Native American grandmother tell of her childhood adventures. The site of the homestead in the novel takes place in the beautiful Black Water Forest Region which is the place where many Muscogee Creek settled. I am a proud member of the Santa Rosa County Creek Indion Tribe in that area. The Novel is a combination of fiction stories and actual events. I hope you enjoy -Cry of the Grey Wolf- J.
