THE BLUE WALL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI was born under the Blue Ridge, and under that side which is blue in\u003cbr\u003ethe evening light, in a wild land of game and forest and rushing waters.\u003cbr\u003eThere, on the borders of a creek that runs into the Yadkin River, in a\u003cbr\u003ecabin that was chinked with red mud, I came into the world a subject of\u003cbr\u003eKing George the Third, in that part of his realm known as the province\u003cbr\u003eof North Carolina.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cabin reeked of corn-pone and bacon, and the odor of pelts. It had\u003cbr\u003etwo shakedowns, on one of which I slept under a bearskin. A rough stone\u003cbr\u003echimney was reared outside, and the fireplace was as long as my father\u003cbr\u003ewas tall. There was a crane in it, and a bake kettle; and over it great\u003cbr\u003ebuckhorns held my father's rifle when it was not in use. On other horns\u003cbr\u003ehung jerked bear's meat and venison hams, and gourds for drinking\u003cbr\u003ecups, and bags of seed, and my father's best hunting shirt; also, in a\u003cbr\u003eneglected corner, several articles of woman's attire from pegs. These\u003cbr\u003eonce belonged to my mother. Among them was a gown of silk, of a fine,\u003cbr\u003efaded pattern, over which I was wont to speculate. The women at the\u003cbr\u003eCross-Roads, twelve miles away, were dressed in coarse butternut wool\u003cbr\u003eand huge sunbonnets. But when I questioned my father on these matters he\u003cbr\u003ewould give me no answers.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079439302896,"sku":"2940013408128","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013408128_p0.jpg?v=1763581094","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013408128","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
