There was a time and she remembered it well - when she found no analogies in Lost Creek. Then she saw only a stream gayly dandering down the valley, with the laurel and the pawpaw close in to its banks, and the kildeer's nest in the sand. Before it takes that desperate plunge into the unexplored caverns Of the mountain, Lost Creek lends its aid to divers jobs of very prosaic work. Further up the valley it turns a mill-wheel, and on Mondays it is wont to assist in the family wash. A fire of pine-knots, kindled beside it on a flat rock, would twine long, lucent white flames about the huge kettle in which the clothes were boiled. Through the steam the distant landscape flickered, ethereal, dream-like. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Visiting the Sin: A Tale of Mountain Life in Kentucky and Tennessee The old bell was out of harmony with its surround ings. They ought to have put soul even into its cracked metal. Forest kings that had held court in these mountains for centuries shook their leafy crowns in derision at the barbarous efforts of the interloper. The girl whose hand pulled the cord and set the harsh tongue to vibrating was an interloper too; but she was not out of character with her surroundings. The tall, supple figure, the slow grace of movement, the dark, slumberous eyes, with possibilities - no, rather with promise of passion beneath their calm, were in keeping with the hills and the forest.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from At Home in the Smokies: A History Handbook for Great Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina and Tennessee By the early l7o0s, Cataloochee formed a minor portion of the great Cherokee Nation whose towns and villages extended from eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina into northern Georgia. But as time went on, and as the white settlements pushed westward from the wide eastern front, the Chero kees lost dominion over this vast area. In 1791 at the treaty of Holston, the Cherokees gave up Cataloochee along with much of what is now East Tennessee. Five years later the state of North Carolina granted hectares acres), including all of Cataloochee, to John Gray Blount - brother to William Blount, governor of the Territory South of the Ohio River, as Tennessee was then called. Blount kept the land for speculation, but it eventually sold for less than one cent per hectare. Now that the Cherokees had relinquished the land, no one else seemed to want it. Even the famous Methodist Bishop Francis Asbury. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prophet of the Great: Smoky Mountains Her face was grave, but there was a smile in her eyes, which had the lustre and depth of a sapphire, and a lambent glow like the heart of a blue flame. They were fringed by long, black lashes, and her hair was black, also. Her pink calico sun-bonnet, flaring toward the front, showed it lying in moist tendrils on her brow, and cast an unwonted roseate tint upon the clear, healthful pallor of her complexion. She wore a dark blue homespun dress, and, despite her coarse garb and uncouth occupation and the gaunt Old ox, there was something impressive in her simple beauty, her youth, and her elastic vigor. As she drove the ploughshare into the mould she might have seemed the type of a young civilization, so fine a thing in itself, so roughly accoutred.

She is a woman of conviction and possesses the spirit of our era in a large de gree. No one familiar with her work during the past four years can fail to note how steadily her views have broadened and how rapidly popular prejudice has given place to that broad and j ustice-loving spirit which is so needed in modern life, and which enables its possessor to rise above petty prejudice or unreasoning conventionalism when con science speaks to the soul.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tennessee History Stories It is now admitted that no history is of so much importance to children as that of their own State and country. They cannot well have too much information about either of these subjects, and in order to arouse the interest of the children of Tennessee in the history of their State, this book has been prepared. No State has a history of more absorbing interest than Tennessee. Her people were among the first settlers west of the Alleghanics, and for this reason she bore in early times a unique relation to the rest of the country. Her sons struck a decisive blow for American liberty at King's Mountain. She was one of the first three States admitted to the Union. Moreover, she has always borne a prominent part in the affairs of the nation, and her soldiers and statesmen have been among its leaders. Her population has been made up mainly of plain people. She has developed less of the aristocratic element, perhaps, than any other State in the South. Hence, it is appropriate that these stories should be largely about the people - their customs, manners, and ways of living, especially in early times. The correct methods of using this book will suggest themselves to every intelligent teacher. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
