Duncan (Joe Duncan) 1881 1959 Gleason, Joe Duncan Gleason, Duncan The Mountain Girl Produced by David Garcia, Martin Pettit and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Mountain Girl" by Payne Erskine is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a remote mountain setting, where the protagonist, David Thryng, arrives at Carew's Crossing after a long and exhausting journey. The narrative introduces him to a mysterious young woman named Cassandra and her little brother Hoyle, who quickly become vital characters in his life as they navigate the challenges of mountain living and complex interpersonal relationships. The opening of the novel sets the stage for David's arrival in a snow-covered wilderness, reflecting both the literal and metaphorical journey he undertakes. It highlights his initial interactions with the mountain people, specifically with Cassandra, who displays a mix of kindness and mystery as she cares for her brother and engages with the newcomer. Thryng's immediate concern for Cassandra and Hoyle emerges when danger arises with a frightened colt, pulling him into their world of familial ties, care, and the challenge of adapting to life in the mountains. As the chapters progress, themes of healing, personal ideals, the impact of family bonds, and the influence of nature introduce a rich backdrop against which David's story unfolds.
