{"product_id":"celias-blue-spring-from-plantation-to-frontier-9781665791038","title":"Celia's Blue Spring: From Plantation To Frontier","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmid colossal historic forces of the new nation, Celia, the illegitimate white daughter of future Vice President Richard Mentor Johnson, dramatically elopes with a soldier from her father's War of 1812 militia. Leaving her privileged but marginalized Kentucky plantation existence, she finds a new life in the demanding wild frontiers, but never completely escapes her father's notorious reputation as the enslaver of his two biracial daughters and their mother. Celia's hard but rewarding days with a thriving family of six children and her soldier-husband, lead her to confront the deepest conflicts of her time: slavery, continuous wars for land, and extreme social inequalities. CELIA'S BLUE SPRING is a historical fiction novel based on official records, newspapers, speeches, academic publications, and family genealogies. It tells of the romance of Celia and Wesley as imagined by the author, their third-great-granddaughter, who grew up near their Blue Spring on Current River in Missouri.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Archway Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781665791038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.45d","brand":"Suzanne McKenzie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52801293615285,"sku":"9781665791038","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/celias-blue-spring-from-plantation-to-frontier-9781665791038","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
