the trail of the lonesome pine book information

The last 1/4 of the book really picked up, and by the time the story concluded, I was glad that I read this and look forward to reading more by John Fox, Jr. At times though, I felt the writing was hard to get through and difficult to follow. Both stories are very interesting and blend well together. Part of this novel is a love story, centering on a young girl, June Tolliver & her love interest John Hale, the 'furriner.' The other side of this novel focuses on what life is like for the 'mountain people' and the effects of the coal mining boom, and the influx of foreigners into their way of life. The Trail of the Lonesome Pine is really two stories in one. Not being from the region that the Trail of the Lonesome Pine is written about, I was definitely reading it from a 'furriner' point of view. The entrance of this 'furriner' will change June's life forever. When John Hale enters the Tolliver/Falin territory, June is immediately drawn to him. A town is blossoming in Big Stone Gap Virginia.and the Trail of the Lonesome Pine connects the town with Lonesome Cove, home of the Tolliver family, and a pretty little mountain girl named June. The story begins as life in the mountains is beginning to al mining is starting to boom, and the oustide world is creeping into the simple ways of mountain life. At the heart of this novel are the Tolliver & Falin families, who have been in a feud with one another for as far back as anyone can remember.
