The crude mountaineers of the Ozarks are the people of this story, and those of them who were not really born to this wild life have come to it satiated with the ways of men in the world outside and have here been born anew. It is a strange tale of love, of hate, of deception and retribution but, although it deals with tough folk and their rough ways, about it is cast the glamour of the everlasting hills. These men are men of action and their brawn and muscle when exerted in a good cause, have all the force of oratory.
“There are many bits of excellent description, in the course of the story, and an atmosphere as fresh and sweet and free from modern grime as one would breathe on the Ozark trails themselves.”
