The Call of the Whip-poor-will - Paperback

by G. Mason (Author)

The second book of the serial trilogy In the Land of Rob. The Call of the Whip-poor-will picks up the story of Rob Nickerson with his imprisonment at the end of the first book, The Tale of a Woods Colt. After his stint in the penitentiary, Rob's misadventures in the Shenandoah Valley lead him back to his Blue Ridge Mountain home and a life punctuated by small triumphs and private tragedies amongst hills and hollows deemed wild and woolly by lowlanders. Rob eventually falls foul of the law again, takes up a curious double love life, and finds himself caught up in the forced eviction of several thousand mountain people during the formation of Virginia's Shenandoah National Park.
