Best Selling Books by Caroline Miller

This 1934 Pulitzer Prize winner tells the story of a pair of young newlyweds in antebellum rural Georgia. In 1934, Caroline Miller's novel Lamb in His Bosom won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. It was the first novel by a Georgia author to win a Pulitzer, soon followed by Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind in 1937. In fact, Lamb was largely responsible for the discovery of Gone With the Wind; after reading Miller's novel, Macmillan editor Harold S. Latham sought other southern novels and authors, and found Margaret Mitchell. Caroline Miller was fascinated by the other Old South-not the romantic inhabitants of Gone With the Wind, but rather the poor people of the south Georgia backwoods, who never owned a slave or planned to fight a war. The story of Cean and Lonzo, a young couple who begin their married lives two decades before the Civil War, Lamb in His Bosom is a fascinating account of social customs and material realities among settlers of the Georgia frontier. At the same time, Lamb in His Bosom transcends regional history as Miller's quietly lyrical prose style pays poignant tribute to a woman's life lived close to nature-the nature outside her and the nature within.

Wilma Dale Lytle, a resident of northern Kentucky, was a private duty nurse in Cincinnati before entering the Army Air Force in 1943. Her battlefield training was at Bowman Field in Louisville, Kentucky, where she became a member of the second graduating class of air-evacuation nurses. Lytle was designated as a Second Lieutenant and assigned to the 807 Evacuation Unit and was transferred to northern Africa. From this base, she and other nurses and medics flew missions into Italy to treat and remove wounded Allied soldiers and airmen. On a trip in early November, Lytle, 12 other nurses, 13 medics, four crew members, and one Army personnel boarded a C-53D transport plane, intending to fly to a base in central Italy. Weather was not favorable to continue and the captain attempted to make arrangements to land at other fields. However, the storm they encountered made it impossible for any contact. They flew endlessly in the storm, while spotting several Nazi fighters and crash-landed in an unknown country. When they were soon discovered by area citizens, it was revealed they were in a German-controlled nation, Albania. After being rescued and hidden in homes, they spent several months before being reduced by crossing the Alp Mountains to a waiting boat which took them across the Adriatic Sea to Italy. Their experiences were at times extremely dangerous, yet filled with moments of positive emotions for those Partisans who saved their lives.

Central Kentucky was the site of numerous slave escapes and uprisings before and during the Civil War. There were instances where as many as 60 slaves fled their masters only to be recaptured and returned. The largest escape occurred in the summer of 1848 when a E. Patrick Doyle, posing as a minister to various Kentucky churches, convinced dozens of valuable slaves to meet him on an election weekend when they would not be closely watched. The fugitives left Lexington and proceeded northeast to the North Fork of the Licking River into Bracken County. There were skirmishes along the way, but the major conflict occurred at Drift Run where the Licking River forced them to regourp and wait for their conductor to lead them out of the trees. Lucius DeSha was appointed by officials to gather local men and sheriff's deputies to join in the hunt. When one white man was shot, the outcome for the escapees became serious. Most of them were taken back to local jails before their masters or their overseers were sent to take them back to the plantations. A few stood trial in Fayette and Bracken County, with at least three sentenced to be hanged in Bracken County. Henry Slaughter was one of the freedom seekers who wanted to be free before marriage since his wife was already a Free Person of Color. Henry's personal narrative explicitly details the events of their travels and outcomes.
