This is a collection of thirty short stories by one of the best story-tellers of the 19th century. The majority are one-chapter long, but many have two and three chapters. Almost without exception, are based in the backwoods and mountains of Kentucky, and provide a very realistic look at what life was like in rural sections of the southeast during the late 19th century. Most have a romantic theme, but the "man wins woman" doesn't necessarily work out in every case, and the twists and turns will keep you turning the pages. Opie Read is well known for his character development, and he doesn't disappoint in this book.
This edition of the book includes 10 photographs documenting life in the backwoods and mountains of Eastern Kentucky. They were taken between 1800 and 1899 by the Farm Administration, so you can't expect them to be as good as the ones you take with your cell phone.
* This e-book is a true representation, from a high-definition scan of a pre-1923 print version of the book. Unlike other e-copies of the book, it was not produced by using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). OCR-scanning old books is seldom, if ever, error-free. This often results in an e-book with many **, ^^, >> and typographic errors when OCR can't read the word or punctuation correctly.
* "True representation" means that if there are typographic, spelling, or grammatical errors that the editor judges to have minimal impact on the book's comprehension, they have been preserved; otherwise, they were corrected.
* In other words, no changes or as few as possible have been made to either illustrations or text in order to bring you an e-book that is as close to the original as possible.
