This 1915 novel, set in the mountains of West Virginia, tells the story of the life and death of a mountain stage driver. The writing is notable for passages of lush description in the florid style that was Hergesheimer’s trademark.

A propos de l’auteur
Joseph Hergesheimer (1880–1954) initially hoped to be a painter, but eventually turned to writing. His study of painting is thought to have informed the pictorial details in his fiction. Admired by H. L. Mencken, Hergesheimer’s reputation wavered – from being voted “most important American writer” in 1922 to being almost unknown at the time of his death. He is best remembered for the novels Three Black Pennies and Java Head.
