Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Moonshiners at Hoho-hebee Falls" by Charles Egbert Craddock is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against the vivid backdrop of the Great Smoky Mountains and follows the life of young Leander Yerby, who is characterized by his adventurous spirit and defiance of authority, particularly that of his teacher, Abner Sage. The narrative explores themes of childhood innocence, the complexities of familial relationships, and societal pressures, introducing readers to the tensions between Leander's free-spirited nature and the rigid expectations imposed by his environment. At the start of the novel, the scene is established in a small schoolhouse located near Holly Cove, where the majestic mountains and rivers create a rich tapestry of nature. Leander Yerby stands out among his peers for both his academic prowess and his disregard for the teacher's warnings about the dangers of the wilderness. As tensions brew within the Sudley household regarding Leander's upbringing and the emotional scars of loss following a tragedy, the reader gains insight into the interplay of love, resentment, and hope that shapes the characters' lives. The opening chapter sets the stage for conflict, hinting at Leander’s growing independence and the influence of his environment, which foreshadows the important choices he will face.
