W. 15011004 The Code of the Mountains Produced by Roger Frank, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Code of the Mountains" by Charles Neville Buck is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Newt Spooner, a young man recently released from prison and seeking revenge against those he holds accountable for a crime that led to his incarceration. The narrative explores themes of vengeance, the clash of old ways versus new, and the complexities of life in the Appalachian mountains and the surrounding areas. The opening portion of the book introduces Newt Spooner as he reflects on his past and struggles with the stigma of his criminal past. Recently pardoned for murder, Newt's focus is singular—he is determined to kill Henry Falkins, the man whose testimony led to his conviction. As he makes his way through the unfamiliar landscapes of post-prison life towards his rugged home, he grapples with his identity, feelings of bitterness, and a newly awakened awareness of the world, especially represented by those in the lowlands. The narrative sets up an intense dichotomy between vengeance and the possibility of change, which is echoed in the lives of both Newt and those connected to him, like Minerva Rawlins, a character introduced later in the opening chapters.
