Shepherd of the Wolves Redux
Come on inside William Slusher's popular ?rst novel of 1995, republished by demand, wherein you meet Lewis, the ?awed and troubled white sheriff of an isolated Virginia mountain county. You'll also meet Millie, the black woman jailhouse sergeant with attitude; Colby, the patrician country doctor; Pierce, the immense deputy you do not want to cross; a gentle old soul named Ivy Joe; and many other memorable characters. Both Lewis and you will meet a beautiful, black, uptown trial lawyer named Lucia, pronounced the sexy southern way: Loosha. Lucia grew up in remote Hunter County during the civil rights era and long ago ?ed its southern ambiance, but she's back now with some attitude of her own. She wants to know who murdered her widely beloved, ninety-something grandfather, and she's not in the mood for excuses. Ah, but from here, reader...you're on your own.

The Creationists
Forty-seven percent of the American people, according to a 1991 Gallup poll, believe that God made man--as man is now--in a single act of creation, and within the last ten thousand years. Ronald L. Numbers chronicles the astonishing resurgence of this belief since the 1960s, as well as the creationist movement's tangled roots in the theologies of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Baptists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Adventists, and other religious groups. Even more remarkable than Numbers's story of today's widespread rejection of the theory of evolution is the dramatic shift from acceptance of the earth's antiquity to the insistence of present-day scientific creationists that most fossils date back to Noah's flood and its aftermath, and that the earth itself is not more than ten thousand years old. Numbers traces the evolution of scientific creationism and shows how the creationist movement challenges the very meaning of science.

Floyd County
Once a Kanawha hunting ground, the area that became Floyd County in 1831 was settled by people of English, German, Scots-Irish, French, and African descent, who established scattered farming communities. Agriculture was supplemented by work at sawmills and gristmills, distilling, storekeeping, and small-scale manufacturing and mining. Social life centered on family, church, and schools. Through the first half of the 20th century, full-time farming diminished as automobiles and improved roads gave access to garment factories and other industries within Floyd and adjoining counties, and the population declined sharply from a peak of 15,388 in 1900. Today, the population has rebounded with an influx of artisans, musicians, entrepreneurs, immigrant workers, retirees, and young families attracted by the county's natural beauty and quality of life. Prominent Floyd County natives include NASCAR pioneer Curtis Turner and Rear Adm. Robley Evans.
