Book Description
DNA Reveals Imposter: Charles Edwin Rinker Changed His Name to Harry Bernard King One Man, Four Families: DNA Reveals Harry Bernard King aka Charles Edwin Rinker Why would a young man leave the beautiful blue ridge mountains of Virginia and move to the flat fields of Iowa, by himself, without any apparent relatives nearby? Harry Bernard King appeared in Worth County, Iowa, in 1894, about 27 years old. He married there in 1896 and had five children. His obituary in 1919 said he was born and raised in Virginia, but no documentary evidence was found for him in that state despite thirty-five years of research by nationally recognized genealogists. Thanks to DNA that linked Harry to his Virginia origins under another name, Charles Edwin Rinker, along with two additional marriages and an illegitimate son, Harry was really Charlie, a lost sheep of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Shenandoah, Virginia. Charlie could change his identity, but he could not change his DNA!

Jed Buchanan is one of the Blue Ridge mountain people displaced by the formation of the Shenandoah National Park. Through a quirk of fate he is offered a job as a farm manager on one of the loveliest farms in the Shenandoah Valley. Though he loves the life, dire danger lurks in the form of a fanatical, old-style Ku Klux Klan klavern that has been operating in the rural areas of Northern Virginia. Jed falls in love with two very different women: the beautiful, sultry sophisticate, Virginia Chadwick, whom he saves from being savaged by a vicious dog. This leads to the humble hillbilly giving regular lectures to one of the most powerful groups in Washington DC., Then theres lovely, spunky Sage Kelly, who has left three men at the altar. However, Jed has good reason to suspect that she and her brother, Tom, are members of the Ku Klux Klan. Sequel to the widely acclaimed "Falling Leaves and Mountain Ashes", this compelling epic novel, set in the1940s and 1950s, displays once again what a master storyteller George is.
