Description
The American Frontier, 1798: Set in the remote regions of North Carolina, Tennessee, and Missouri in the years after the Revolutionary War, Dogwood Crossing tells the story of Sam Rolens and his family, as they journey west to find land and prosperity in the French Creole Territory. At home, they were tenant farmers working for a scrap of pay. Now they travel through an exotic new world few people have seen before, stark, stunning, and incomprehensively beautiful, but full of mystery and dark possibility. Together with their uncle, the stoic frontiersman Burl, they cross Avery’s Trace and contend with the elements, attacks from the displaced natives, and the omnipresent threat of time and its passing. Upon reaching a new home in the wilds of the French Territory west of the Mississippi River, new challenges threaten the family, conflicts with each other and their different dreams, tensions with the rich mining interests that would stand in their way. It is a struggle born of hope, enacted in an implacable and violent wilderness.

Advance Praise
“An engaging, sometimes-chilling, and often melancholy tale of the pioneer spirit”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Frye is a writer of eloquence and passion, and Dogwood Crossing is an important work of fiction by a great new American voice on the literary scene. There is poetry in his language. His characters are unique and believable. This is a novel to be reckoned with, and there are scenes in it that will live with the reader well after the last page is turned.”
—Eric Carl Link, Professor of American Literature, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, University of Houston, Downtown
