Dive into the richly imaginative world of "Red Prophet Tales of Alvin Maker Volume 1" by Orson Scott Card.  
American history and Folklore Combine!
In an alternate American history where folk magic actually works, war is brewing on the frontier. But in the midst of the conflict, two men will begin down the path towards changing the world forever. One of them is Alvin Miller, a young boy who is the seventh son of a seventh son - and thus powerful enough to shape the world around him. The other is Tenskwa-tawa, the Red Prophet, who will help Alvin fulfil his destiny.
