Excerpt from In the Tennessee Mountains Yet her life had not always been thus desti tute of pleasure and purpose. There was a time and she remembered it well - when she found no analogies in Lost Creek. Then she saw only a stream gayly dandering down the valley, with the laurel and the pawpaw close in to its banks, and the kildeer's nest in the sand. Before it takes that desperate plunge into the unexplored caverns Of the mountain, Lost Creek lends its aid to divers jobs of very prosaic work. Further up the valley it turns a mill-wheel, and on Mondays it is wont to assist in the family wash. A fire of pine-knots, kindled beside it on a flat rock, would twine long, lucent white flames about the huge kettle in which the clothes were boiled. Through the steam the distant landscape flickered, ethereal, dream-like. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
