This is a story of pioneers crossing the Cumberlands—one of the most impassible mountain chains in the U.S. When it was published in 1918 by McKinlay, Stone & Mackenzie, The Publishers Weekly described the book as "A 'poor white's' experience in the world of better living conditions and what came of it." Brimming over with uncertainty, action, adventure, and hardship.
Emerson Hough (1857–1923) was an American author best known for writing western stories and historical novels. Hough was born in Newton, Iowa on June 28, 1857. He moved to White Oaks, New Mexico, practiced law there, and wrote for the White Oaks newspaper Golden Era for a year and a half, returning to Iowa when his mother was ill. He later wrote a novel, "Story of the Outlaw," a study of the western desperado, which included profiles of Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett. Hough moved to New Mexico after Garrett shot Billy the Kid, and he became a friend of Garrett.
