Reseña del editor

You know those feudal barons of the medieval days how the cliffs of Europe bristled with their turrets and their battlements. Great, fierce, unforgotten forms, we see them yet, each in his stronghold on his crag, glowering down those an. cient valleys. How different was that old hill country then from ours? Times have changed, indeed, but men have not; and to some of us, at least, strange resemblances seem ta arise. First there were the iron hills of New England, which stand about us now, unconquered to this day. A century and a half, the poor hill farmer, his life hideous in its dreariness and sterility, scratched painfully at this meagre soil, indifferent to the last to his feeble persuasion.
