The Master of the Hills is a novel set in the Georgia Mountains, written by Sarah Johnson Cocke and published in 1917. The story follows the life of a young man named Joel, who is raised by his grandfather, a respected and influential figure in the community. Joel’s grandfather teaches him about the natural world and the ways of the mountains, and instills in him a deep love and respect for the land.As Joel grows older, he becomes more and more aware of the changes happening in the world around him. The arrival of the railroad and the logging industry threaten to destroy the forests and disrupt the way of life in the mountains. Joel becomes determined to protect his home and the people he loves, and he sets out to become the ''Master of the Hills'' - a title given to those who have mastered the art of living in harmony with the land.The novel explores themes of environmentalism, community, and the struggle between tradition and progress. Through Joel’s journey, readers are given a glimpse into the unique and vibrant culture of the Georgia Mountains, as well as the challenges faced by those who call it home.Overall, The Master of the Hills is a timeless tale of resilience, courage, and the power of nature. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the American South, as well as those who are passionate about environmentalism and sustainability.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
