Announcement posted by InHouse Publishing 20 Jun 2016

Pioneering Story hits the Sunshine Coast, Queensland

1848: a time when thousands of Euro-settlers are pouring into America seeking a new life. A romantic era before train travel and telegraph lines, an era that will fire the imagination of generations to come.

 

 

Author Levi Lincoln brings you his debut historical fiction book Adventure Story. This story follows the adventures of Helmut Schmidt, an eleven-year-old German boy, following his immigration to America in 1848. Helmut is an extraordinarily bright, adventurous boy and cannot wait to begin his adventure, so he meticulously plans his escape to ‘go west’. Along the way, Helmut meets Eli, a man that has made the rugged wilderness his home. Eli is a fur trapper and trader, and an adopted member of the Native Sioux tribe living in the Minnesota Territory. Their adventure together educates Helmut to the plight of the Native American peoples. Join Helmut on his journey west, and meet each character as their part in the story comes to life. Hardship, a hint of romance, and a touching ending for the two strangers who started it all in motion.

Levi Lincoln’s beautiful descriptions of the American landscape of this period will captivate readers. Readers will become immersed in this time period as they are introduced to the many fun and genuine characters in this historically-based story.

Author Levi Lincoln, aka Sunshine Coast resident Wes Houk, was born in Sioux City, Iowa, in 1947. His grandfather was born in 1884 to a pioneering man and an American Indian woman, believed to have been Sioux, giving Wes claim to at least a small portion of American Native Indian heritage. Charlie, as his grandfather was known, is no doubt why Wes relates to the early pioneering days and the reason he has brought this iconic historical period to life in his book. Wes aims to promote his book under his pen name Levi Lincoln in his local community on the Sunshine Coast and in surrounding areas.
