| | 163 | Author: | Peattie, Elia Wilkinson, 1862-1935 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Shehens` Houn` Dogs  | | | | Published: | 1999 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | EDWARD Berenson, the Washington correspondent for the New
York News, descended from the sleeping-car at Hardin,
Kentucky, and inquired for the stage to Ballington's Gap. But there
was, it appeared, no stage. Neither was a conveyance to be hired.
The community looked at Berenson and went by on the other side.
He had, indeed, as he recollected, with a too confiding candor,
registered himself from Washington, and there were reasons in
plenty why strangers should not be taken over to Ballington's Gap
promiscuously, so to speak, by the neighbors at Hardin. Berenson
had come down from Washington with a purpose, however, and he
was not to be frustrated. He wished to inquire — politely — why, for
four generations, the Shehens and the Babbs had been killing each
other. He meant to put the question calmly and in the interest of
scientific journalism, but he was quite determined to have it
answered. To this end he bought a lank mare for seventy-five
dollars — "an th' fixin's thrown in, sah" — and set out upon a red
road, bound for the Arcadian distance. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

buccaneers & marooners of the Spanish Main | | | | Published: | 1999 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | JUST above the northwestern shore of the old island of Hispaniola—the Santo Domingo
of our day—and separated from it only by a narrow channel of some five or six miles
in width, lies a queer little hunch of an island, known, because of a distant resemblance to
that animal, as the Tortuga de Mar, or sea turtle. It is not more than twenty miles in length
by perhaps seven or eight in breadth; it is only a little spot of land, and as you look at it
upon the map a pin's head would almost cover it; yet from that spot, as from a center of
inflammation, a burning fire of human wickedness and ruthlessness and lust overran the world,
and spread terror and death throughout the Spanish
West Indies, from St. Augustine to the island of Trinidad, and from Panama to the coasts of
Peru. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
