^THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE.^
Illustrated 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 _foot-prints of a girl_. And the girl proved to be
lovely, piquant, and the trail of these girlish foot-prints led the
young engineer a madder chase than “the trail of the lonesome pine.”
^THE LITTLE SHEPHERD OF KINGDOM COME^
Illustrated 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 CUMBERLAND.^
Illustrated by F. C. Yohn.
The scenes are laid along the waters of the Cumberland, the lair of
moonshiner and feudsman. The knight is a moonshiner’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 “Hell fer-Sartain” and other stories,
some of Mr. Fox’s most entertaining Cumberland valley narratives.
