Christmas Eve on Lonesome "Hell Fer Sartain" and Other Stories

Hardcover (Charles Scribner's Sons March 15, 1914)
John Fox Jr. was the novelist that brought Appalachia, the wilderness, and the new frontiers to readers in the East, romanticizing life in the back woods, and the homey side of life. Here is a collection of stories that includes the classics Christmas Eve on Lonesome and Hell for Satan (Sairtin and other spellings), and also includes the Army of the Callahan, The Last Stetson, The Pardon of Becky Day, A Crisis for the Guard, and Christmas Eve with Satan. Color frontispiece with tissue depicts little girl in store with Satan, "only a woolly little black dog, and surely no dog was ever more absurdly misnamed" (p. 203).
