Alvin Journeyman The Tales of Alvin Maker

by Orson Scott Card

In an alternate frontier America, Alvin Miller, the seventh son of a seventh son, is especially skilled in magic, and he intends to settle down in his hometown of Vigor Church to teach the art of "making" and to practice his trade as a smith. But he runs afoul of his jealous brother, Calvin, and ends up accused of stealing and of helping runaway slaves. Sequel to Prentice Alvin (RC 29660). Some strong language. 1995.
