In The Tennessee Mountains is a novel written by Charles Egbert Craddock, originally published in 1884. The story is set in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee and follows the lives of the residents of a small mountain community. The main character is a young woman named Dorinda, who is struggling to make ends meet and care for her family in the harsh mountain environment. She is aided by a group of kind-hearted neighbors and a mysterious stranger who appears in the community. The novel explores themes of poverty, family, community, and the beauty and challenges of life in the mountains. The writing style is rich and descriptive, capturing the unique dialect and culture of the region. In The Tennessee Mountains is considered a classic of Appalachian literature and a testament to the strength and resilience of the people who call these mountains home.At the lowest ebb of his fortunes there came to him a letter from a young lawyer, much in his own professional position, but who had confessed himself beaten and turned sheep-farmer. Here, among the mountains of East Tennessee, said the letter, he had bought a farm for a song; the land was the poorest he ever saw, but served his purposes, and the house was a phenomenal structure for these parts, --a six-room brick, built fifty years ago by a city man with a bucolic craze and consumptive tendencies. The people were terribly poor, still, if his friend would come he might manage to pick up something, for there was not a physician in a circuit of sixty miles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
