Ask for Grossett and Dunlap's list. _THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE._ Illustrated by F.C.Yohn. The "lonesome pine" from which the story takes its name was a tall tree that stood in solitary splendor on a mountain top.
The fame of the pine lured a young engineer through Kentucky to catch the trail, and when he finally climbed to its shelter he found not only the pine but the _foot-prints of a girl_.
And the girl proved to be lovely, piquant, and the trail of these girlish foot-prints led the young engineer a madder chase than "the trail of the lonesome pine." _THE LITTLE SHEPHERD OF KINGDOM COME_ Illustrated by F.C.Yohn. This is a story of Kentucky, in a settlement known as "Kingdom Come." It is a life rude, semi-barbarous; but natural and honest, from which often springs the flower of civilization. "Chad." the "little shepherd" did not know who he was nor whence he came--he had just wandered from door to door since early childhood, seeking shelter with kindly mountaineers who gladly fathered and mothered this waif about whom there was such a mystery--a charming waif, by the way, who could play the banjo better that anyone else in the mountains. _A KNIGHT OF THE CUMBERLAND._ Illustrated by F.C.Yohn. The scenes are laid along the waters of the Cumberland, the lair of moonshiner and feudsman.
The knight is a moonshiner's son, and the heroine a beautiful girl perversely christened "The Blight." Two impetuous young Southerners' fall under the spell of "The Blight's" charms and she learns what a large part jealousy and pistols have in the love making of the mountaineers. Included in this volume is "Hell fer-Sartain" and other stories, some of Mr.Fox's most entertaining Cumberland valley narratives.
