Excerpt from The Waters of Caney Fork: A Romance of Tennessee In my early fancy there lay a place where the sun was always shining. The first impression made upon my memory was a flood of light on a lawn, and in after years this light, undimmed by time, seemed to lie there. It was in a hilly district of Northern Tennessee, not far from the Kentucky line. My father, a country physician, had begun life there, but in my early infancy he moved to the town of Gallatin, not more than sixteen miles distant, but indeed a complete change of life for a doctor whose practice had been confined to the ills of a rude and rustic population. To me the change must have been world-wide. I can recall a part of the great journey, a wagon stuck in the mire, a lank man, clad in brown, coughing as he stood to watch our perplexity, a boy riding a stick-horse, a girl swinging on a gate. The air was clear and the sun was shining, but I could not get it out of my mind that we were moving away from the brightest spot in the world - the lawn in front of our old house.
