Kentucky Trace, The
A Novel of the American Revolution
Harriette Simpson Arnow
Introduction by Sandra L. Ballard
A gripping portrait of life in the hard-bitten wilderness of
Revolutionary Kentucky, Harriette Simpson Arnow’s The Kentucky
Trace follows surveyor William David Leslie Collins as he
struggles to survive. Collins finds his fellow settlers to be almost

the quickly shifting political tides to make his way in a changing
world. Showcasing Arnow’s ear for dialogue and offering a wealth of
historical detail, The Kentucky Trace is a masterful work of
fiction by a preeminent Appalachian writer.
