Excerpt from Blue-Grass and Rhododendron: Out-Doors in Old KentuckySo, in the log-cabin of the Southern mountaineer, in his household furnishings, in his homespun, his linsey, and, occasionally, in his hunting - shirt, his coon skin cap and moccasins, one may summon up the garb and life of the pioneer; in his religion, his politics, his moral code, his folk-songs, and his superstitions, one may bridge the waters back to the old country, and through his speech one may even touch the remote past of Chaucer. For to-day he is a distinct remnant of Colonial times - a distinct relic of an anglo-saxon past.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
