This able frontiersman might be seen today as a defender of Native Americans, but in his own time he was branded as a traitor for siding with First Nations and the British during the Revolutionary War. He fought fiercely against Continental Army forces in the Ohio River Valley and was victorious in the bloody Battle of Blue Licks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In this classic work, Richard Taylor artfully assembles a collage of passages from diaries, travel accounts and biographies to tell part of the notorious villain&#8217;s story,&#8221; the publisher continues. &#8220;Taylor uses the voice of Girty himself to unfold the rest of the narrative through a series of interior monologues, which take the form of both prose and poetry. Moments of torture and horrifying bloodshed stand starkly against passages celebrating beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Throughout, Taylor challenges perceptions of the man and the frontier, as well as notions of white settler innocence.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact <a href=\"mailto:diane@pspl.org\">Diane Dehoney<\/a> for more information on Tuesday&#8217;s &#8220;Girty: A Virtual Event with Author Richard Taylor.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Paul Sawyier Public Library in Frankfort is celebrating the rerelease of Transylvania professor Richard Taylor\u2019s novel \u201cGirty&#8221; with a virtual event Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":15187,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"2023,9530,1600,7705,1508,13662","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[30,47],"tags":[616,617,356],"feeds":[],"class_list":["post-15181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-faculty-staff","tag-girty","tag-literature","tag-richard-taylor"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
