    About this ebook

    It’s 1847 in the wild frontier of Illinois. Attorney Abe Lincoln and his law partner William Herndon are hard-pressed to keep a young Irish immigrant lad out of jail on an attempted murder charge, despite the efforts of a corrupt sheriff to send him there and steal the young fellow’s fiancé. All this, while Abe tries to prove exactly who owns Abner, the 300 lbs. prize winning Poland pig: the pipe-smoking Blackfoot squaw, or the white man with a head the size of a pumpkin? Mystery and fun before Abe ended up on Mount Rushmore!

    I am the Rev. Kevin J. McGrane, a priest in the Episcopal Church. I and my wife live on ten acres in the Ozarks we call Windy Hill, after a lifetime of living in the big city, raising a family, and running in the rat race. I’m a pastor of a small congregation, and I publish my work on the internet, post on my blog "The View from Windy Hill", follow my FB page, and look forward to the future.
