Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sowing of Alderson Cree It was early, early of an October morning in the Jumping Creek Draft - a certain little lost valley cuddled away among the West Virginia mountains; so little and so lost that by day it showed as hardly more than a wrinkle in the genial old face of the blue Alleghanies. Day had not yet begun to break, but already the air was touched with the smell of dawn, and the vigorous promise of oncoming light and vivacity. The moon, in its splendour of autumnal fullness, swung low in the West, attended by one lone star which flashed a glorious defiance to the prospective morning. If it had been light, and the landscape not blotted out in fog, one could have seen the valley checker-boarded all over with tumbled worm fences - their outlines blurred with blackberry vines and sassafras growth - which separated the small holdings one from another, with here and there a sombre little cabin - the kernel of its homestead - glimpsed at through a haze of apple trees and improved fruit.
