Virgin Bluff

by Tom Koob

Overview

Surveyor and engineer Jake Periman travels to the Ozarks in 1911 to work on a project to dam the James River. He becomes intimately involved with the people and natural wonders of this wild area. Jake wrestles with the contradictions of his responsibility and his growing appreciation of the untamed river. Sabotage and a mysterious death complicate Jake's work and his involvement with the hill people.

Virgin Bluff gives a detailed portrayal of life in the White River valley a hundred years ago and the clash between progress and the old mountain ways.

About the Author

I am originally from Kansas City, but have lived in Shell Knob, Missouri on Table Rock Lake for several years. I enjoy fishing and spending time outdoors. I like to write about fishing and history, particularly the history of the Ozarks region. My first full-length book, The History of Fishing Table Rock Lake, really got my writing avocation started. My second book, Buried By Table Rock Lake, has been very popular and still sells well. My third book, Enon to Radium Spring, although my best work to date in my opinion, sold slower and is now out of print as is my Fishing book. All my books are available as e-books. In 2016, I published my first novel, Virgin Bluff, based in the Ozarks of one hundred years ago. Fiction is a new realm for me, but I enjoy it and have just published a sequel novel, Mash Hollow, as an ebook.
