(Clarence Herbert) Rowe, Clarence Herbert In Old Kentucky E-text prepared by Audrey Longhurst, Gene Smethers, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "In Old Kentucky" by Edward Marshall and Charles Turner Dazey is a novel written in the early 20th century, specifically around 1910. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the Kentucky mountains, weaving themes of love, conflict, and personal growth within the lives of its characters. The story primarily follows Madge Brierly, a spirited young woman who is eager to expand her horizons through learning and self-discovery, while contending with the history of her family’s feud and the encroachment of modernity into her rural existence. The opening portion of the novel introduces Madge as she joyfully sings while riding an ox down Nebo Mountain. Her carefree demeanor is soon interrupted by her encounter with Joe Lorey, a local boy harboring feelings for her, and their dialogue reveals the tension between Madge's aspirations for education and the traditional lifestyle of the mountains. As Madge expresses her desire to learn and lead a life beyond the limitations of her mountain community, their conversation shifts, opening up themes of love, loyalty, and the impact of familial legacy. This introduction sets the stage for Madge's journey, which will involve both self-discovery and the larger societal changes occurring in her world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
