The Thompson Tract is a property in southeastern Tennessee, of great environmental importance, owned by a grandfatherly John Thompson, known locally as JT. An unscrupulous land developer, Sam Webster, plans to destroy thousands of acres of primitive wilderness after the death of the last heir but angry spirits close to the land rise and lead the local wildlife in a fight to reclaim the property. "The Caretakers" offers the reader a woodland adventure story of natural landscapes intertwined with escaped convicts, rescue, murder, after-life and new found love. Come take a walk on the Thompson Tract.
