Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Smiles a Rose of the Cumberlands
Tm: man came to a stop, a look of humiliation and deep self-disgust on his bronzed face. With method ical care he leaned his rifle against the seamed trunk Of a forest patriarch and drew the sleeve of his hunt ing shirt across his forehead, now glistening with beads Of sweat; then, and not until then, did he relieve his injured feelings by giving voice to a short but soul-satisfying expletive. At the sound Of his deep voice the dog, which had, panting, dropped at his feet after a wild, purposeless dash through the underbrush, looked up with bright eyes whose expression conveyed both worship and a question, and, as the man bent and stroked his wiry coat, rustled the pine needles with his stubby tail. The picture held no other animate creatures, and no other sound disturbed the silence Of the woods. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
