Question:

Was there really a person name Magpie Gabbard? Was there a Gabbard Mountain and gabbard/sizemore feud?

What was the feud about, how long did it last? Where can I find Magpie Gabbard Genealogy, and who started the feud?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: No. It is a work of fiction by Sally Keehn. Looks good, though, from the blurb on the Penguin Books site:

"There are just things a girl turning thirteen has to do if she lives on Gabbard Mountain. Like track down her brother Milo, who went away to High Jerusalem and left his danged foot behind! And why not ride Sir William, the amazing hog, who is faster than a white tornado? Before this girl??s done, she faces the Floating Head, outruns Goblins, retrieves miracle water from Green Pond, gives her brother Randall back his grit, and gets those squabbling Sizemores and Gabbards together again. Oh, yes, and along the way Magpie saves the moon . . . and gets herself a beautiful beau! Now this is an original story!"
