Why I loved reading Presumed Dead
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I especially was thrilled with this book because it took place here in Western North Carolina where I live and because the people in the book (though it was fiction it was based on some facts) were my relatives. Colonel John Alley was my great-grandfather. How about that. I thought the book was well written. Especailly since I think this was Eugene Alley's first book published.All of the places mentioned in the book were very familiar to me as my mother was born and grew up in Whiteside Cove below Cashiers, North Carolina.
Intriguing Mystery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Very interesting book combining both historical fact with fiction makes very entertaining tale. Family details especially intriguing with well drawn characters a bonus. Would like to read more by this author. Mr. Alley's descriptions of a bygone era were evocative of another tumultuous time in our history. The descriptions of the naturescape were refreshing and sensitivelyportrayed. Keep up the good work!
