IN THE TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS
by
Mary Noailles Murfree
or
Charles Egbert Craddock, pseud.


I chose two stories from this collection of eight local
color short stories: "Drifting Down Lost Creek" and "The
Dancin' Party at Harrison's Cove." "Drifting Down Lost
Creek" is about a girl who saves her love from being wrongly
accused. "The Dancin' Party at Harrison's Cove" features
fiddles, fights, and "scandalous" dancing in the mountains of East Tennessee.

Themes found in IN THE TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS
The Strength of the Mountain Woman
