About this title

About the Author

Jesse Stuart (1906 - 1984) was one of America s best-known and best-loved writers. In 1976, late in his writing career, the editors of Country Gentleman magazine boldly proclaimed Stuart America's Most Famous Chronicler of Rural Life. At that time, nearing the end of a five-decade writing career, Stuart had published nearly 60 books, including biography, autobiography, essays, and juvenile works as well as poetry and fiction. These books have immortalized the Kentucky hill country that inspired his writing.

Thousands of his short stories, articles, and poems appeared in America's most widely read magazines, journals, and periodicals. His frequent literary appearances from the 1930s through the 1970s made him an American icon and a famous writer throughout America. Stuart also taught and lectured extensively. His teaching experience ranged from the one-room schoolhouse of his youth in Eastern Kentucky to the American University in Cairo, Egypt.
