–(PR.com)– Fulton
Books
author
J.R.
Collins,
a
loving
husband
and
father
of
two
who
was
raised
in
the
Southern
Appalachian
region,
has
completed
his
most
recent
book,
“The
Legend
of
Swell
Branch:
A
Wilderness
Adventure”:
a
gripping
and
powerful
novel
that
follows
Buach
Whelan,
an
Irish
American
raised
by
Cherokee
elders
who,
after
his
home
is
taken
from
him
and
his
family
murdered,
sets
out
to
fight
for
his
honor
and
avenge
everything
he
has
lost.

“The
years
following
the
American
Civil
War
were
particularly
unjust
to
those
who
called
the
South
home,”
writes
Collins.
“Most
families
had
suffered
tremendous
loss
to
the
horrors
of
a
war
they
didn’t
fully
understand.
Many
Southern
homesteads
could
not
protect
themselves
from
the
horde
of
profiteers
sweeping
South
at
war’s
end,
good
and
bad
alike,
all
hoping
to
reap
the
spoils
of
a
defeated
South.
Some
by
legal
means,
sure,
but
many
others
by
any
means
it
took.

“Buach
Whelan
(Boo-ock
Whay-lan)
is
a
big,
strong
lad
of
Irish
descent
who
was
raised
by
the
Cherokee
elders
to
become
the
white
warrior
Lone
Eagle.
He
was
too
young
to
fight
in
the
legal
war
but
was
near
grown
when
the
postwar
Reconstruction
hit
his
part
of
the
southern
Appalachian
Mountains.
Bein’
one
who
honors
duty,
he
is
forced
into
the
fight
when
his
own
home
is
taken,
his
family
murdered.
His
struggle
becomes
a
personal
war
he
vows
to
see
to
the
end.
Such
became
the
way
for
Buach
Whelan.
Such
becomes
a
life
lived
by
the
legend
of
Swell
Branch.”
