"In the last immense wilderness of western Kentucky ~ the Jackson Purchase country ~ the need for men who were really men was great. Big Eli qualified on every count and yet in caring for his motherless son, Little Eli, he displayed a tenderness and gentleness that any mother might envy.
Only a man of Big Eli's size and strength could blow the Gabriel Horn, the hunting horn which played so important a part in the lives of those rugged individuals fighting for an existance on one of the last of the American frontiers. It was Little Eli's ambition to grow up to become a man his father could be proud of and who could in his turn come to blow the Gabriel Horn.
The Gabriel Horn recounts the experiences of Big and Little Eli Wakefield in their ever~widening search for freedom from the confinements of the encroaching civilization of the 1800s. Love and romance are here in great plenty. The bound girl, Hannah Bolen, enters Big Eli's life as his rescuer, only to become so terrified of the possible results that she flees into the forest."
"Here is a realistic novel of the American frontier of 1818, with a great hunter for a hero, an exciting picture of frontier life and an altogether engaging love story, told with authentic detail and delightful touches of humor by a writer new to the field but old in his knowledge of the period in which he feels so thoroughly at home and at ease."
