Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Down on Devil's Creek
Down on Devil's Creek lived a rather singular set, noted in their day for broils and toils, but mostly noted for turning the tide when anyone were around.
Brother Good-for-nothing was often a fit subject for hell. On many occasions, particularly so when it comes to the subject of meat and bread, he often halted between two Opinions; whether the dollars amounted to more than the pleasures of his wife and children, which he often found weighed in balances and found wanting. His fake lay in going to meeting under Special pretense of getting out of work, and riding in the chariot with pastor or just before or behind. But his greatest pleasures were in demolishing Sister Good-a-good's chicken salad and pies.
