Death Comes O’er These Mountains is a gripping tale of survival set against the lawlessness that once shadowed the mountains of southwest Virginia and eastern Kentucky. It blends real events and historical figures with the intimate struggles of the fictional Wilkens family in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The story carries readers through the brutal Civil War battles of Pound Gap and Antietam.The novel exposes the greed, envy, and cruelty of some men, contrasted with the courage, generosity, and humanity of others. As the chapters unfold, a sense of danger steadily builds, leading to the infamous Killing Rock Murders, one of the most notorious cases in Virginia’s history.Readers who enjoyed The Trail of the Lonesome Pine and Bluegrass and Rhododendron by John Fox Jr. will find much to appreciate in this powerful and unforgettable story.
