The Hills O'Ca'liny is a novel written by Arthur W. Spalding. Set in the lush hills of Ireland, the book tells the story of a young man named John O'Brien who returns to his ancestral homeland after years of living in America. John is eager to reconnect with his family and his roots, but he soon discovers that life in Ireland is not as idyllic as he remembers. The country is in the midst of a political and social upheaval, and John finds himself caught up in the conflict between the Irish nationalists and the British forces. As he navigates this dangerous landscape, John also grapples with his own personal demons, including his love for a woman who is engaged to another man. The Hills O'Ca'liny is a sweeping tale of love, loss, and redemption, set against the backdrop of one of the most tumultuous periods in Irish history.1921. The following passage is an excerpt from The Path to Pisgah: Almost it seemed we were back in ante bellum days; for there were Negro house servants and Negro field hands, Negro boys and girls and mammies, Negro minstrels and Negro jollity. There was a young Negro butler and a fat, jolly old Auntie Dede for cook. A Negro boy tended the fires, a Negro girl was ready at beck and call for errands; and during the evening could be heard back in the kitchen and long dining-hall, the scraping of the fiddle and the shuffling of feet, with bursts of laughter and railery, where the servants, all of one hue, were making merry. Contents: Among Mine Own People; The Land of the Sky; The State of Religion; The Path to Pisgah; The House of Rest; Christy, Kith and Kin; The Summer People; The Lake Country; and Children of the Rechabites.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
