Book Details


First Sentence

"Robert Montgomery Bird's 1837 novel Nick of the Woods, set in late-eighteenth-century Kentucky, features a Quaker named Nathan Slaughter who is ridiculed by his fellow Anglo frontiersmen for his pacifism-in particular, for his (initial) refusal to fight the area's Indians, whom Bird represents as brutal in the extreme."
