Spring Drive by Chuck Guilford




Spring Drive by Chuck Guilford

(From the back of the book)
Set in Menominee, Michigan, in 1881 and based on an historical event, Spring Drive centers on the McDonald boys, two loggers who roll into town planning to collect their pay, have some fun, and leave for Oregon. Before they can do so, however, they are caught up in a violent swirl of events that leads to their lynching. It is a gripping, even terrifying tale. In telling the story, the book probes a complex web of environmental, social, and personal issues which remain important in today’s America.


Received this book in the mail today courtesy of the author and LibraryThing member giveaway program.  It will be read directly after the ones I have already received,which I plan on getting a start on tonight.

Today's Mail


A Separate Country by Robert Hicks.
Just arrived in the mail today. I'll have to hold off until the group gets started. Sounds like quite a good story.
