Welcome to Elm Ridge, Illinois. The year is 1851 and interesting events are going to unfold in this village on a bluff above the Mississippi River.
In the months when the river is open, daily packets bring freight and passengers from both north and south. The river is a busy highway with steamboats of various sizes plus rafts of logs coming downstream from the forests of Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Tick…tock…tick… The shelf clocks in every business and almost every home remind you to keep moving. Time to plant the garden, cook a meal, open the shop, fetch mail (and the local gossip) from the post office, and care for the horse.
