The rich history of the Natchez Trace would become the inspiration for Pam\u2019s latest novels. Keep reading to discover <em>why<\/em> the Natchez Trace is the perfect location for a historical hero and heroine.<strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Th<\/em><em>e Promise of Breeze Hill<\/em> is the first of my <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2IMyiG3\">Natchez Trace novels<\/a>. Setting my books in the 1790s is a bit of a departure for me, as most of my research has been in the late 1800s. However, this story was one I wanted to write, and for it to be historically accurate, it needed to be set before 1812 when the first steamboats started plying the Mississippi River.<\/p>\n<p>Why, you ask?<\/p>\n<p>The backdrop for this series is the old Natchez Trace, also known as the Devil\u2019s Backbone. The old Natchez Trace is a centuries-old footpath that runs from Nashville to Natchez, over four hundred miles long.<\/p>\n<p>Back in the 1700s and even before that, the Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Natchez tribes hunted along trails all over these hills and hollows. Eventually, the easiest routes became the most common, and what we know as the old Natchez Trace was wrestled from the wilderness.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-3370  alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crazy4fiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/jp-valery-391642-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"312\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By 1733, the French mapped the trail from Natchez heading northeast. In the late 1700s, Ohio River Valley farmers began floating their crops down the rivers to Natchez and New Orleans. It was easy, and quite pleasant, to float down the river on flatboats, but going back up the river was nearly impossible given the current and ferocity of the river. Instead, travelers abandoned or sold their flatboats for lumber, returning home by way of the Natchez Trace, on foot or on horseback.<\/p>\n<p>It did not take long for the trail to become a clearly marked road. By 1810, many years of travel had made the trace the most heavily traveled road in the South. Inns, also called \u201cstands,\u201d sprang into existence due to the needs of the weary travelers. By 1820, over twenty stands were in operation. Some provided basic food and shelter, with owners who might not be the most honest, and upstanding citizens. Other inns, like Mount Locust, were well known and owned by respectable, God-fearing folks who welcomed and treated visitors with hospitality, providing a safe place to stay overnight.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1589\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1589\" style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1589\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/08\/Mount-Locust-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"312\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1589\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pictured above: Mount Locust<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Travel along the trace was not without its hazards, the least of which were swamps, floods, disease-carrying insects, and mosquitos. But worse than that were the bands of highwaymen who haunted the trace, attacking travelers who might be flush with cash from their recent transactions downriver.<\/p>\n<p>The trail, surrounded by swamps and dark forests, attracted a seedy element leading the old Natchez Trace to gain its nickname: the Devil\u2019s Backbone.<\/p>\n<p>The Natchez District was a lawless frontier in the 1700s, and many a man lost his life traveling along the dark trail. It was not until the invention of the steamboat that wealthy planters, merchants, and their families could make the return trip up the river instead of along the trail. In January 1812, the steamer <em>New Orleans<\/em> arrived in Natchez. Soon steamboats from New Orleans and Natchez were calling regularly at St. Louis, Nashville, Louisville, and all points in between.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3384\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crazy4fiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/merlin-kraus-1346874-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"676\" height=\"451\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Travelers who could afford passage on the steamboats preferred the relative safety, comfort, and speed to the slow pace of trekking overland. Before long, the busy trace became a peaceful forest lane. The travelers with lots of money in their pockets were now on the riverboats, and the highwaymen soon sought greener pastures to line their pockets.<\/p>\n<p>I chose this very stretch of road for my characters to travel upon, a road that struck fear into the hearts of many, because as I walked these banks the rustling in the forest inspired me to imagine what all had transpired on this long, lonely road more than two centuries ago.
