THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE. Ill.u.s.trated by F. C. Yohn.
The ”lonesome pine” from which the story takes its name was a tall tree that stood in solitary splendor on a mountain top. The fame of the pine lured a young engineer through Kentucky to catch the trail, and when he finally climbed to its shelter he found not only the pine but the _footprints of a girl._ And the girl proved to be lovely, piquant, and the trail of these girlish footprints led the young engineer a madder chase than ”the trail of the lonesome pine.”
THE LITTLE SHEPHERD OF KINGDOM COME. Ill.u.s.trated by F. C. Yohn.
This is a story of Kentucky, in a settlement known as ”Kingdom Come.”
It is a life rude, semi-barbarous; but natural and honest, from which often springs the flower of civilization.
”Chad.” the ”little shepherd” did not know who he was nor whence he came--he had just wandered from door to door since early childhood, seeking shelter with kindly mountaineers who gladly fathered and mothered this waif about whom there was such a mystery--a charming waif, by the way, who could play the banjo better that anyone else in the mountains.
A KNIGHT OF THE c.u.mBERLAND. Ill.u.s.trated by F. C. Yohn.
The scenes are laid along the waters of the c.u.mberland, the lair of moons.h.i.+ner and feudsman. The knight is a moons.h.i.+ner's son, and the heroine a beautiful girl perversely christened ”The Blight.” Two impetuous young Southerners fall under the spell of ”The Blight's”
charms and she learns what a large part jealousy and pistols have in the love making of the mountaineers.
Included in this volume is ”h.e.l.l fer-Sartain” and other stories, some of Mr. Fox's most entertaining c.u.mberland valley narratives.
