The Natchez Trace is remarkable in American history for the legends and tales surrounding it. During the first half of the nineteenth century, travelers--traders, settlers, andøthe occasional war party or fugitive from justice--followed its course from the Appalachians to the lower Mississippi, from Knoxville to Natchez. In this vibrant and energetic account, the author has mined both history and legend for startling tales of the near-mythical thieves, cutthroats, and confidence men once reported to have stalked their unsuspecting victims along this frontier trail--the terrible Harpe brothers, who came to a satisfactorily bad end; Samuel Mason, a thief done in by other thieves; and John Murrell, whose reputed schemes threw the South into a paroxysm of fear. Robert M. Coates retells the stories of these and other "land pirates" in chilling and ominous detail, preserving for us the tales once whispered on the edges of the dark southern woods nearly two centuries ago.

WHEN ADAM ROBERTS decides to find out if his nightmares are connected to his past, he returns to his childhood home. He never suspects he will find bodies buried in a secret tomb, learn everything he has been told about his family's history was a lie, and discover hidden secrets so explosive his own relatives will kill to keep them buried. Thus begins a quest that leads Adam and the woman he loves into a web of lies spun for more than one hundred years. But finding out what's in the family closet could prove fatal. Understanding himself means he must uncover the past his family had buried. Instead of an immigrant farmer, his grandfather had been the son of a legendary outlaw leader of the Old West. His grandmother, a quiet woman whose kitchen had always smelled of freshly baked bread, had been suspected by her husband of being a murderess. And then Adam discovers he has a granduncle he never knew existed who will stop at nothing to keep him from learning any more about the murders.

Milo Talon knew the territory and the good men from the bad. He had ridden the Outlaw Trail and could find out things others couldn’t. That was why a rich man named Jefferson Henry hired Milo to hunt down a missing girl. But from the moment Milo began his search, he knew something wasn’t right. Three people had already died, an innocent woman was on the run, and a once sleepy town was getting crowded with hired guns. Suddenly, Milo Talon realized that there were still things he had to learn—about the woman he was trying to find, the man who had hired him, and the murderer who wanted him dead. But most of all, Milo had a few things to learn about himself. And he would have to work fast, because one mistake could cost him his life.
