This creative nonfiction work is based on the romance and actual love letters of Marie Antoinette "Nettie" Stuntebeck and Fred Marion Fister of Kentucky from 1900-1904. Before radio, television, and autos, they carried on their romance separated by 100 miles, a full day's round trip by train and not manageable by buggy or horseback. Times and love were fraught with danger. They faced deadly plagues, putrid water systems, horrific accidents, violence, murders, and vicious political turmoil that included the assassinations of Kentucky Governor William Goebel and US President William McKinley. About the only reliable things they had were local daily newspapers and US postal service mail delivery 365 days a year (366 in leap years), including Sundays and holidays. Their letters engendered curiosity and this book.
