Silenced Only by the Dawn
Silenced Only by the Dawn
Lingering remnants of poverty and the social curse brought on by the Civil War marked the lives of Addie and her carpenter. In 1904 they left a comfortable home in south central Texas to embark on a 1,000 mile trek to the high mountain country of northern New Mexico. Traveling in a single wagon with eight headstrong children and 400 goats, they unknowingly risked their future for what seemed a glorious opportunity in the West only to find prosperity would elude them one more.
Returning to "God's Country", amazing resilience, courage, joy in small things and close family ties carried Addie forward; her carpenter was not so fortunate. If she knew the demon of John's demise, her desire to keep it private severed the path to understanding.
