Elsewhere, Lincoln Henry, a Tennessee-born child of ex-slaves, turns heads with his gift for geometry and mathematics, and Lily Mandeville, an orphan working with a traveling circus, discovers her talent for talking with dogs. Daniel's gang and Lily's circus travel to greener pastures in the west, while Lincoln becomes an apprentice to a steam-engine mechanic. In the boom town of Deadwood in the Black Hills of the Dakota Territory, they'll unite to oppose a power-mad mining baron. Vivid settings, family tragedies, and a diverse cast of criminals, circus folk, lawmen, engineers, entrepreneurs, and a Reconstruction-era family of former slaves make PRODIGIES an immersive reading experience."--Jacket flap. 541 $d 20210727. 650 $a Five Points (New York, N.Y.) $x Fiction. 650 $a Mines and mineral resources $z South Dakota $v Fiction. 650 $a Circus performers $v Fiction. 650 $a Steam-engines $v Fiction. 650 $a Freedmen $v Fiction. 650 $a Gang members $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. 650 $a Mathematicians $v Fiction. 651 $a Deadwood (S.D.) $x Fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l FDPC194 $d 20220106010146.0 952 $l WWPC305 $d 20211019011607.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EEE6F21830A111ECB04C9E6E4CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
