In Tanglefoot Cove, a hollow of the Great Smoky Mountains stripped of its men by volunteering and conscription, the few folk left await a notorious guerilla’s threatened raid. The other stories climb Storm Mountain, follow camp-hunts and lost guidons, and meet the Chilhowee Lily, all told in the dialect of the Cumberland mountaineers.
