Brian and his sister Polly were sent to visit their Uncle John and cousins, Norman, Sue, and Hugh, on the Tennessee frontier, on the east bank of the Mississippi River.

Book Review: "James Thor Whitehead is a young boy living in Carter County, Tennessee and growing up with his family's tradition of storytelling. All his life, he has listened to this father's tales about the famous tiger that roams the mountains and valleys of East Tennessee. Thor believes that these stories are true and fears that this legendary beast will one day hunt him down and eat him. Eventually Thor learns of the real "Tennessee Tiger" who was legendary for his killing of 99 bears in his lifetime and the sparing of the 100th bear's life. A combination of folklore and mythology make this book a must. This book should be enjoyed by children of all ages and adults alike. It is especially meaningful when read together as a family. My child enjoys hearing this story over and over again. The colorful pictures are quite unique and very well done. I highly recommend this book!! [5-Star Review] [Author's post review: Because of the folklore and mythological motifs, adults and grown-up like this story as well. A story for the ages, especially Southern and Appalachian folklore.]
