Shiloh–sad and serious

Comment:

We just read your book Shiloh in class and it is a very serious and sad book. and I really enjoyed it.I liked the rivalry between Judd Travers and Marty for Shiloh. These are a couple questions I wanted to ask you.What year did you come up with the idea for Shiloh .And why did you decide to make the setting West Virginia. your fourth grade friend.

I found the dog in West Virginia in 1988 so I placed the story there.
