In the pattern of the misfortunes that plague him, Hanley sees the powerful hand of John Caines, county boss and lumber king, whose daughter nevertheless sacrifices her reputation to save Luke, arousing the dangerous jealousy of the fiery and embittered Hester. When the harassed hero is finally brought to trial for his life, the great Thaddeus Stevens comes to his defense; but his eloquence cannot save Hanley's lumber camp from the flames of angry slave hunters after he gives sanctuary to John Brown's son, following the raid on Harper's Ferry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders of \u003cem\u003eBy Night the Strangers\u003c\/em\u003e will find this the most exciting of the books by Herbert Stover who has established himself as an accomplished dramatist of history through such previous works as \u003cem\u003eSong of the Susquehanna\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMen in Buckskin\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePowder\u003c\/em\u003e Mission, \u003cem\u003e Copperhead Moon\u003c\/em\u003e, and\u003cem\u003e The Eagle and the Wind\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 31, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52526358954291,"sku":"9798888190548","price":28.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/SWdZanZrVTN2Y1EyKzE1cHQyTjNkZz09.webp?v=1760623069","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/by-night-the-strangers-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
