Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lady Angeline: A Lay of the Apalachians, the Hours, Etc
The scene of the poem is the valley of the Wautauga, a small river washing the base of the grand-father Mountain, but taking in The Lay the name of the stream. The time of the poem is thrown forward into the future, the locality furnishing from its past no sufficient material for poetic fiction. The story, mainly an invention to paint to the reader's mind the natural beauties of that wild American Arcadia, is one of youthful love, illustrating the power of divine grace to sustain and to restore - to sustain a character like the Lady Angeline, who wrestles earnestly with trial and temptation - to restore.
