Creekside

<div> <P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">In <I>Creekside</I>, dedicated archaeologist Meg Harrington guides her students in a race against time to protect the legacy of the past before bulldozers rip it to shreds.</p> <P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">The setting is a Kentucky pasture slated for development—the construction of the new Creekside subdivision. Once, that same beautiful stretch of land was home to three generations who experienced love, loss, and tragedy in their log cabin beside the creek. It was here during the late 18th century that Estelle Mullins struggled to build her home on the dangerous frontier.</p> <P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">In Meg's 21st-century world of archaeology we read about excavation techniques, daily experiences at a dig, tight construction deadlines, the use of heavy equipment, report writing, artifact analysis, damage from looters and collectors, and the reality of site destruction in the path of modern development. The depiction of Estelle's frontier life includes Kentucky's early Euro-American settlement of the Cumberland Gap, encounters with Shawnee defending their land, Protestant fragmentation, the rise of religious fundamentalism, the immigrant stampede down the Ohio River, and the persistent issue of class-based land ownership.</p> <P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">The two partially interwoven story lines link artifact and place, ancestors and descendants, the present and the past, and inspire us to explore the personal connections between them all in fresh and vital ways.</p></DIV>
