| Summary | "A Cumberland Vendetta" by John Fox Jr. is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the tumultuous Appalachian Mountains, where it chronicles the violent feud between two families, the Stetsons and the Lewallens, against the backdrop of the rugged wilderness. Central to the narrative are Rome Stetson, a conflicted young man torn between family loyalty and personal feelings, and Martha Lewallen, the daughter of his family's rival, who becomes a pivotal figure in the unfolding drama. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Rome and his half-brother Isom as they navigate their daily lives in the woods. The opening chapters hint at the simmering tensions between the Stetsons and the Lewallens, touching on themes of childhood innocence, attempts to escape violence, and the complexities of familial loyalty. Martha Lewallen's entrance into the story adds a layer of personal conflict as Rome grapples with a burgeoning connection to her, even amidst the feuds and enmities that define their families. As Rome's mother anxiously awaits a chance for retribution for past wrongs, the specter of violence looms over the narrative, building a sense of impending conflict as loyalties are tested and fates intertwine.
