Even though this dramatic story stands on its own merit, it is also a sequel to the novels, "A Light on the Path" and "Seeing Beyond the Shadows" by William Clark. Andy and his wife, Lydia, are on a mission to share Anderson's (Andy's cousin) remarkable story and its gospel message.
During chaotic times, Andy and Lydia are inspirational in their devotion to family, friends and community. As a former Secretary of State, Andy continues to help his country with its many challenges. Andy (an evangelical) is not fond of modern society, but he has a gift of communicating with people. Even his adversaries like the touch of humor that he adds to a conversation. The reader will never forget the riveting action and earth-shattering ending of "Smoky Mountain Rising".

Person
William Clark, born on August 1, 1770, in Caroline County, Virginia, was an American explorer, soldier, and territorial governor. In 1785, his family relocated to Kentucky, where he later joined the militia and participated in campaigns against Native American tribes. By 1792, Clark had been commissioned as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army, serving under General Anthony Wayne and playing a significant role in the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794.In 1803, Meriwether Lewis invited Clark to co-lead the Corps of Discovery, an expedition to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Territory and seek a route to the Pacific Ocean. From 1804 to 1806, the expedition traversed uncharted territories, documenting diverse landscapes, establishing relations with numerous Native American tribes, and mapping the region. Clark's cartographic skills were instrumental in creating detailed maps that guided future explorers and settlers.After the expedition, Clark was appointed brigadier general of the Louisiana Territory militia and served as a federal Indian agent. In 1813, he became the governor of the Missouri Territory, a position he held until 1820. Later, as Superintendent of Indian Affairs, Clark oversaw numerous treaties that led to significant land cessions from Native American tribes, facilitating American expansion westward. He passed away on September 1, 1838, in St. Louis, Missouri, leaving a complex legacy intertwined with exploration and the nation's growth.
