Excerpt from Life in the Hills of Kentucky Encouraged by the favorable reception of "The Wind-Up of the Big Meetin' on No Bu'ness, " I have spun two other slender threads of fiction, strung them with incidents from life, and bound the three together. These stories, though not distinctively religious, attempt especially to set forth the religious life of the mountain folk. Each "meetin'" described, though chosen because of some unusual event connected with it, and not to be taken as the average mountain meeting, is a simple or composite photograph. The postscript to the first edition of the "Big Meetin', " retained in this, renders superfluous any further explanation of the author's purpose, and his sympathy for these loyal, hospitable people. While writing these pages, my thoughts have turned often to my dear friend, Charles H. Norton, kind-hearted, generous and brave, who died November 6th, 1886. While neither he nor the author appears as a character in this book, they witnessed together many of its scenes.
