About this ebook
A New Eden takes a young man, Gary Moore, through the Civil War and then through his next fifteen to twenty years. Gary is educated while driving a supply wagon during the war. His helper was Prof. Adam Stewart from Brown University. He lectures Gary for the next three years as if he were in the classroom. Gary is elated to get an education. Stewart had taught ethics and the Bible at Brown and gave Gary the foundation for his life.
Gary meets a woman in St. Louis whose husband is sick and being treated in New Orleans. The woman wants her seventeen-year-old daughter, Mickey, to visit him and hires Gary to escort her there. During their travel they fall in love. Gary asked her father, shortly before he dies, for her hand in marriage and they are married when they return to St. Louis.
After her father dies, Mickey finds she is the heir to a plantation that her uncle owned. She asks Gary to run the plantation and he does. He puts to use all of what Professor Stewart taught him and creates a place that he later calls Eden.
Later, after much sadness, Gary goes out west to Wyoming where he meets Kit Casson, a protg of Kit Carson. He is a guide and leads Gary though several to exciting adventures.
