Book Guide

What is the Murray-Coomer feud, and what is the sequel to the robbery of the mail wagon which is hauling the payroll money to the mountain miners? Matt Murray, driver of the mail wagon and the uncle of the six Murray children, invites his nieces and nephews to visit him. On account of the old feud, it doesn't seem wise to accept. But wise old Granny Murray writes, "Don't be afraid to come." Once arrived at Far Beyant, Harriet, the oldest of the children, realizes that she and old Granny Murray together must settle once and for all the feud between the Murray and Coomer families. Here is an authentic and vivid story of the Tennessee mountain people whom Miss Justus knows so well. The story is full of excitement, and homey mountain humor and philosophy. It is fully illustrated.
