Appalachian Legends - The Harlan County Feud

A bit of regional history which I've been looking over for future writings. In the late nineteenth century, a feud between the Howard and Turner families rocked Harlan County. Despite its brutality, the struggle has been largely forgotten in the region over whose hills and hollers the battle was waged. I'll be back to more run-of-the-mill fiction in the next few days with a re-recording of Lawton, one of my oldest stories. Within a week, I'll be back again with Lynch, a new tale, as soon as I get the opportunity to record it between bouts with the oncoming allergy season.

Sagas of Vaster Britain by William Wilfred Campbell Loyal Books A collection of poems by the Canadian poet William Wilfred Campbell addressing themes of National Identity, Imperialism and the Divinity of Man. - Summary by Alan Mapstone Frithiof Saga by Ferdinand Schmidt Loyal Books Iceland is the home of the Saga, a form of literature which includes the telling of the story of a hero’s life and adventures in a fixed, regular form, and which is usually intended for recitation, though the Saga is never set in the customary versified style of poetry. A large number of these Sagas, relating to Iceland, Greenland, North America, and the Norse countries, still remain, and among them the Frithiof Saga, narrating the stirring adventures of that hero of the Northland and Viking of its seas, is one of the most beautiful. Its subject is noble, heroic, and free from exaggerated description or overwrought sentiment. Frithiof is a splendid type of the old Norse hero, invincible in battle upon the land, fearless of Nature’s wrath as he sails the seas in his dragon ship, impulsive yet just, swift in punishment yet quick in forgiveness.
