"In the Tennessee Mountains" by Charles Egbert Craddock is a novel written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of the Appalachian region, the story revolves around the struggles and trials of its inhabitants, particularly focusing on Cynthia Ware and Evander Price as they navigate personal and societal conflicts within their close-knit mountain community. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Cynthia, who reflects on her life in Lost Creek Valley, feeling stagnant and purposeless. The narrative reveals her intricate dynamics with her mother and touches upon the local gossip surrounding Evander Price, a young blacksmith deemed both talented and difficult. The opening portrays Cynthia's emotional landscape, her connection to the land, and the brewing tensions in her relationships, particularly involving Evander, who is deeply affected by his trials and ambitions. As she witnesses the goings-on in her life, themes of love, loss, and fighting for justice unfold, setting the stage for a rich exploration of character and community in the Tennessee mountains.
