Bøker av Arthur W. Spalding

The Men of the Mountains brings vividly before its readers conditions long past-and some even now still prevalent-in the highlands of the South. The story of the conquest of this vast section of our country by the early settlers, and of the valor, honor, and humor of their descendants is well worth careful study.In this book, A W Spalding tells of the great natural resources of both the individuals and their mountains; it shows the character of work being done in this mountain land by many devoted men and women-teachers, medical workers, and home builders, and in the telling, all is woven into one thrilling story. It reveals the mountain and hill country of the South, and most specifically Appalachia, as a training ground for Christian workers-home and foreign. The Men of the Mountains presents the hardy, fearless American Mountaineer, converted and consecrated, as a great and powerful factor in the finishing of God's work in the earth.
