"Down the Ravine" by Charles Egbert Craddock is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows Birt Dicey, a young mountaineer living in the rugged Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee, whose ambitions and dreams are stirred when he discovers a possible gold mine on lands that a friend, Nate Griggs, has just entered. Birt grapples with his family’s poverty and yearns for independence and a brighter future. The opening of the book introduces a picturesque yet challenging landscape, setting the stage for the character-driven tale. It begins with Birt and his friends hunting a red fox, leading to an exploration of Birt's hopes and dreams as he contemplates buying a horse to improve his family's farming efforts. His ambitions take a turn when he discovers a glimmer of what could be gold, but tension arises from the dynamics with Nate Griggs, who has returned unexpectedly with intentions of claiming the land Birt staked his dreams on. The opening chapters effectively establish the rural setting, Birt's desires, and the complications introduced by his friendships and the allure of adventure.
