Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Hillside Parish
All sorts and conditions of horses and wagons, loaded to their utmost capacity with men, women and children, came streaming in from the North, East and West settlements, as the straggling f arm houses strung along the roads running through the valleys toward these quarters of the compass, were called; to the South lay The Barrens.
It was the county town, and was perched upon one of the ridges that divide the head-waters of two rivers which meander among these highlands until they find their way to the sea, bearing on the bosom of their Spring freshets great rafts of lumber, or those unique structures called Arks, laden with potatoes, pumpkins, cabbages, and all other kinds of country produce; which, but for the lack of an assortment of animals, are no mean effigy of their great prototype.
