Langhorn and Mary--A 19th Century American Love Story

Imagine a young African-American man and German-American woman falling in love and eloping in rural 1835 Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Sounds unbelievable, yet, it's true. It is the most unique story of its kind that was hidden away for 135 years.
Langhorn H. and Mary (Stone) Wellings were modest, working-class people who wanted nothing more than to be left in peace with their three children. But they were inescapably caught up in the events and issues of the time-slavery, abolition, Underground Railroad, racism, Civil War, family estrangement, religious fervor.
Their marriage lasts thirty years until 1865 when Mary succumbs to apoplexy. Langhorn's grief soon turns to horror, and his life is shattered, when he is arrested and accused of murdering his wife by poison. As the community's prejudice and animosity simmer to the surface, Langhorn faces trial and the terrifyingly real possibility of hanging.
LANGHORN AND MARY is a timeless and unforgettable tale that men and women of all ages will appreciate. It is, all in one book, a historical novel, a docudrama, a love story, and an adventure. It is American history seen through the eyes of those who lived it.
