Excerpt from The Berea Quarterly, Vol. 12: April, 1908To New Readers. This Quarterly speaks for Rural Life in general, and in particular for the hopeful South. Our special field is Appalachian America - the virgin mountains whose people owned land but did not own slaves. A thousand quaint survivals - British traits and colonial ways - prove to us that here is a reenforcement for the better elements of the nation. A special compli cation growing Out of Berea's honorable war record directs our attention just now to the Adjustment Fund explained this month, to which Mr. Carnegie has sub scribed so generously.The Boy Lincoln, by Eastman johnson, reproduced as our frontispiece this month, comes to Berea with great fitness. Lincoln was sociologically, although not quite geographically, a mountain man. Born in Ken tucky just outside the mountain region, he belonged to a family living in the primitive conditions which still prevail in Appalachian America, and a family which owned land and did not own slaves. The picture is in Eastman johnson's best spirit, and was shown at the March meeting of the Congregational Club in New York where President Frost gave his address on Scenes of Lincoln's Boyhood.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
