Opis

Return to the fictional town of Marienstadt, a Pennsylvania Dutch community in the Allegheny Highlands that readers fell in love with in The Whiskey Bottle in the Wall: Secrets of Marienstadt and The Christmas Daughter: A Marienstadt Story. In these thirteen stories you will once again walk the streets of Marienstadt where Chief of Police Henry Werner keeps things safe -- and interesting. Visit Lola's Strudel Shop, Gretchen's Calico Cuckoo Quilting Fabrics and Supplies, The Wilde Hotel and Tavern, and Opelt's Wood. This time the citizens of Marienstadt make discoveries that lead them into secrets of the past and stories about the town's founders. An old quilt in the attic of a renovated mansion tells the tale of one of the first Irish citizens, who came to build the railroad, then decided to take a wife. Mulligan Wolfe unearths an ancient journal hidden in his fireplace that leads him to discover the truth about one of Marienstadt's most misunderstood citizens. Blaise Hanes recounts a time-worn legend about lost gold, sending Peeper on a mission to find it. In the title story Oliver unpacks a dilapidated trunk that contains a Union soldier's cap decorated with a bucktail. With the help of Gretchen's Uncle Ulysses he learns the story of four orphaned brothers who came from Germany and grew into men who fought in the Civil War as part of Kane's Rifles, the 42nd Pennsylvania Regiment -- the famous Bucktails. 1.
