The Velvet Horn is a novel written by Andrew Nelson Lytle. The book tells the story of a young boy named Hugh Davis, who grows up in rural Tennessee during the early 20th century. Hugh is fascinated by the local legend of a giant buck with a velvet horn, and spends much of his time hunting for the elusive animal.As Hugh grows older, he becomes more and more obsessed with the velvet horn, and his obsession begins to take a toll on his relationships with his family and friends. He becomes distant and isolated, and his pursuit of the buck leads him into dangerous situations.The Velvet Horn is a powerful coming-of-age story that explores themes of obsession, masculinity, and the relationship between man and nature. Lytle's vivid descriptions of the Tennessee landscape and the hunting culture of the time make the book a compelling and immersive read. The novel is a classic of Southern literature, and is widely regarded as one of the best works of its genre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
