From the back of the book . . . .

Farmers in Southern Illinois said that after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the brown thrush quit singing. Tildy Graham lived on a farm in Indiana, where her father taught her how to drive horses and milk cows. When her father was killed in the Civil War, Tildy struggled to help her mother keep the farm. But they failed and had to move to Maryland to live with her mother's sister. There, Tildy encountered a completely different way of living and people who were slaves. She also learned about a plot to assassinate the President, but was unable to warn him in time. Mary Blair Immel is a writer of church school courses as well as stories and books for youth. She has written Two-Way Street (1965) and Call Up the Thunder (1969). She now lives in Veedersburg, Indiana. For grades four through eight.
