Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce
The first edition. Very scarce work, with only one record found on auction in 1901.

A collection of stories written by American author Mary Noailles Murfree, published under her pen name Charles Egbert Craddock. The opening tale follows Hilary Knox, a young mountaineer who yearns for adventure and navigates a period of conflict in East Tennessee.
Murfree is considered by many to be Appalachia's first significant female writer and her work a necessity for the study of Appalachian literature.
