The Trail of the Lonesome Pine Summary
| She sat at the base of the big tree - her little sunbonnet pushed back, her arms locked about her knees, her bare feet gathered under her crimson gown and her deep eyes fixed on the smoke in the valley below. Her breath was still coming fast between her parted lips. There were tiny drops along the roots of her shining hair, for the climb had been steep, and now the shadow of disappointment darkened her eyes. |

| So pervasive, indeed, was the spirit of the times that the Hon. Sam Budd actually got old Buck Falin and old Dave Tolliver to sign a truce, agreeing to a complete cessation of hostilities until he carried through a land deal in which both were interested. And after that was concluded, nobody had time, even the Red Fox, for deviltry and private vengeance--so busy was everybody picking up the manna which was dropping straight from the clouds. |

| A best-selling novel in the vein of Appalachian literature, The Trail of the Lonesome Pine put Fox’s hometown of Big Stone Gap, Virginia, on the map. Exploring the impact of the coal boom on the mountain region and its peoples, the story casts its gaze on both the positive and negative aspects of development. Today the 1908 novel remains as popular as ever, having been incarnated into Virginia’s longest-running outdoor drama, performed since the summer of 1964 at the June Tolliver Playhouse. |
