A Knight of the Cumberland

The writing of the-century Appalachian mountain life lending fondness for its customs respect for its survival and deep regard for its environmental and psychological altercations. Knight of the Cumberland gives a narrative and a vivid setting for these sentiments. The story is told by a writer who is the son of a moonshiner. He has moved to the city to contend with a more civilized existence, but he comes back to The Gap (Big Stone Gap, VA) every summer.
