Excerpt from A Round Robin: The Southern Highlands and Highlanders In 1908 the Church Missions Publishing Company issued a handbook, The Church's Mission to the Mountaineers of the South, compiled by the Rev. Walter Hughson of the District of Asheville. In the seven years that have passed since the appearance of this valuable book, the first comprehensive survey of the work of the Church in the Southern mountains, the work has developed to such an extent that it has been deemed advisable to issue a new book that shall deal with it in the light of present conditions. This book is presented herewith. A casual survey will show that the subject has been treated as a unit and on the broadest possible lines. This is due to several considerations: The limits of the book and the largeness of the subject, the accessibility of detailed descriptions of specific fields, and the need for such information in this volume as his limited space prevents the individual worker from giving in the publications bearing on his own work. It is hoped that those who read this volume will be led to study individual fields. A large number of leaflets can be obtained from the Church Missions Publishing Co., Hartford, Conn., from the office of the Educational Secretary of the Board of Missions, 281 Fourth Avenue New York, or from the missionary immediately in charge. An elaborate bibliography is not attempted, but the following books will be found valuable. They may be ordered through any book store. Our Southern Highlanders, Kephart. Highlanders of the South, Thompson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
