| Summary | "The Call of the Cumberlands" by Charles Neville Buck is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the rugged Appalachian mountains and centers on the lives of various characters, prominently featuring a young mountain girl named Sally and a visiting painter, George Lescott. The narrative explores themes of beauty, art, and the tensions between the mountain families embroiled in feuds, particularly the Souths and the Hollmans. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the serene yet wild landscape of the Cumberland ridge, where Sally, a young girl with a keen appreciation for nature and beauty, discovers a set of abandoned artist’s supplies. Her exploration leads her to instinctively care for George Lescott, the injured painter who owns the supplies, demonstrating her innate kindness and curiosity about the outside world. As the story unfolds, we learn about the prevailing tensions in the community due to the longstanding feud between the South and Hollman families, setting the stage for future conflicts and the emotional turmoil experienced by the characters, especially concerning Sally's admiration for Samson South and his complex feelings about familial duty amid the feud's violent legacy.
