By its stirring dramatic appeal, its varied interest, its skilful
artistry, Miss MacGowan's new Tennessee mountain story marks a long
step in advance of her earlier novels. It is an interesting company
that is brought together in this book--notably the proud high-spirited
mountain beauty who is the heroine, and the bold and fiery young hero,
who will surely stand high in the good graces of readers of the
tale--and a company of distinct types drawn with a graphic and spirited
hand, a company moved by strong passions--love, and hate too, green
jealousy and black revenge.
