On a cold November afternoon in 1833, two wagons are about to cross the dark Mississippi River into Iowa Territory on a tiny boat. Penny Cooper, Nate Tilden, Aunt Sunday, and Jonathan and Ella Butterman are full of questions. Aunt Sunday just wants to know if they're going to drown. Jonathan and Ella wonder if they will succeed in the new Territory. And Penny and Nate are eager to learn if they are going to be free-to marry, to prosper, to live as free people. Aunt Sunday, Penny, and Nate were slaves in Kentucky, not a year before. What will the new Iowa Territory decide on the question of owning human beings? No one yet knows. The little group survives the Mississippi crossing and settles in Key City. There isn't much to the town: a few log cabins and modest buildings in a forest opening. And very rough, very tough lead miners, including the mad Ginn brothers who hate Nate and his dark skin. They can't forget he stopped them from stealing Jonathan's horse. Storm clouds are brewing. Key City on the River is based on fact and takes place in a real town. It explores a little known time in early American history as well as the timeless issue of otherness mixed with hope for the future. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Moving, Household $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Iowa $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Noirs ameÌricains $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a DeÌmeÌnagement $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 651 6 $a Iowa $x Histoire $y 1861-1865 (Guerre de SeÌcession) $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 $a African Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799558 650 7 $a Moving, Household. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01028534 651 7 $a Iowa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205835 648 7 $a 1861-1865 $2 fast 655 7 $a novellas. $2 aat 655 7 $a readers. $2 aat 655 7 $a Readers (Publications) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919959 655 7 $a Novellas. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921741 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Novellas. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Readers (Publications) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novellas. $2 rvmgf 655 7 $a Lectures et morceaux choisis. $2 rvmgf 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gorsuch, Greta, author. $t Key city on the river $d Boston MA : GemmaMedia, 2019 $z 9781936846801 $w (DLC) 2019006510 830 0 $a Open door series (GemmaMedia) 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240529010311.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CE3B6C281D8011EFA6667B3325ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
