Silverfoot - Maud Lindsay
Our beloved Maud Lindsay’s Silverfoot will once again be available for children
and adults to enjoy.
Every child would benefit from reading this classic southern story.
Silverfoot, originally published in 1924, is the story of a child’s life during the tumultuous Civil War time period. This beautifully written story offers a glimpse into the delicate relationship of respect and love that existed between the master’s children and the slaves that were intricately involved in their upbringing.
Just who is this fascinating author named Maud Lindsay?
The following are just a few historical facts about this amazing lady who left a wonderful legacy:
* Maud Lindsay was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama in
1874 to Sarah Miller Winston and Robert Burns Lindsay,
the only foreign-born governor of Alabama.

I look foward to reading Maud’s books!
I have been handed down thru the family, three of Maud’s original books published in the thirties. Her father is the brother to my greatgrandfather. I love the feel that these books have, that give a glimpse of the old South, and look forward to getting these new releases to hand down to my family.
