The Bloody Creek Massacre Robert Burns Clark

Laurel Valley, a community in the Carolina hills. Nobody knows why, but Montgomerys and Capshaws have been killing each other for over 100 years. On a peaceful Sunday morning Lee Montgomery drove his wife, mother in law and 4 children to church. The youngest was 4 year old Olin Montgomery, the apple of the families eye. When Lee reached the ford at Bloody Creek, the horses spooked and would not cross. Lee has the instincts of a wild animal. Something was amiss. Pistol in hand, he got out of the wagon to search the thick brush enveloping the trail. A dozen guns fired in unison, shredding the flesh of the Montgomery family. All massacred, except Olin, whos little body was shielded by his grandmother. Fifteen years later, Olin has grown into manhood. It is his lifes mission to get revenge for his families murder until he meets a girl, Etta, the daughter of the Capshaw clans patriarch. Their love is doomed by their families hatred. BLOODY CREEK is ROMEO AND JULIET set in the crossfire of a Hatfield/McCoy feud. This time, will the young lovers survive?
