2000 edition When Angelica Longrider was born, she was scarcely taller than her mother, and couldn’t climb a tree without help. She was a full two years old before she built her first log cabin. But by the time she is fully grown, Swamp Angel as she is known, can lasso a tornado and drinking entire lake dry. She single-handedly saves the settlers from the fearsome bear known as Thundering Tarnation, wrestling him from the top of the great smoky mountains to the bottom of a deep lake in this original tail set on the American frontier.
