FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Little Sara Bolster loved the great shining horses that drew the Henkel brewery wagon through the streets of Detroit in the 1880s. Those horses came to signify her fate, for she married the Henkel son and later, as a widow, took over the business. Saras struggle against the intolerance and hypocrisy of family and friends who disapproved of a woman running a brewery and opening a beer garden makes her a standout among the characters of Mildred Walker. The Brewers Big Horses recreates the manners and traditions of Germans in America as Prohibition gets up steam. Author Biography Mildred Walker, chronicler of the modern American West and New England, is gaining new admirers with Bison Books reprints of such novels as Winter Wheat and The Southwest Corner. David Budbill, now living in Vermont, grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and remembers tales about the horse-drawn brewery wagons. His Judevine: The Complete Poems was chosen by Booklist as one of the best books of poems published in 1991. Kirkus US Review The three novels written by Mildred Walker have born evidence of versatility and exceptional talent. Dr. Nortons Wife approached best sellerdom. This has almost as good a chance (though it has elements that may detract from the sale which was attracted by the medical bias of the last). Again a story of a womans adjustment to life in the story of the youngest daughter of a proud Michigan family who flouts conventions by getting a newspaper job and by marrying a brewers son. He abandons his profession to run his fathers brewery - and on his death, Sara decides to carry on herself. She takes the hurdles of the war and the hatred of the German tradition; but prohibition closes the brewery and leaves the restaurant as her mainstay. The discovery of cases of beer on the premises brings danger to her - and her former suitor chances his own career to prove her innocence. Good reading for the feminine market.
