The Trial of Rush Givens

Rush Givens is a true man of the mountains. He is proud, opinionated, hardworking, and big-hearted, but above all, he is fiercely protective of his own. When a wild bird of prey attacks his chicken lot, he shoots the critter which turns out to be an eagle. This story chronicles the events that follow- sometimes poignant, almost always humorous- all the way to a confrontation with an over-zealous prosecutor in the federal court of the formidable Judge Soloman Thacker.
