With illustrations by George Wright.
No one can fail to enjoy this moving tale with its lovely and ardent heroine, its frank, fearless hero, its glowing love passages, and its variety of characters, captivating or engaging humorous or saturnine, villains, rascals, and men of good will. A tale strong and interesting in plot, faithful and vivid as a picture of wild mountain life, and in its characterization full of warmth and glow.
Alice McGowan has done for the mountain folks of the Cumberland what Charles Egbert Craddock did for those of Tennessee, only, if possible, her work is more graphic. Her men and women are not impossible creatures. Her heroine is beautiful but not without human weaknesses, and her hero is well intentioned but not more heroic than most young men are.
As we should expect, the story has contains the matter of illicit distilling, but the real interest lies in the sturdy human kindliness which McGowan discovers even among those who for a moment give way to the passion for revenge.
