Songs From The Hills (1897)

By Emma Gertrude Weston

Book Overview

Songs From The Hills is a collection of poems written by Emma Gertrude Weston and published in 1897. The poems are inspired by the author's experiences living in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, where she worked as a teacher and missionary. The collection is divided into four sections, each focusing on a different theme: nature, love, faith, and death. The poems are written in a simple, lyrical style and often feature vivid descriptions of the natural world. Many of the poems also touch on themes of hardship and struggle, reflecting the difficult conditions faced by the people of the rural Appalachian region. Overall, Songs From The Hills offers a unique glimpse into the life and culture of Appalachia at the turn of the 20th century, as seen through the eyes of a sensitive and observant writer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
