Excerpt from In the Nantahalas: A Novel

A decade or more ago there began to appear in the Church press fugitive articles which covered such a wide range of practical and living subjects and which were marked by such cultured wisdom and literary finish as to move many an edified reader to ask the question, "Who is she?" This natural and, therefore, pardonable interest suffered no decline when the writer was found to be a Methodist preacher's wife, who had caught a view of a world much bigger than the parsonage and the parish, and who had demonstrated her ability to minister as a true wife and loving mother in a little parsonage home and at the same time to make the great outside world better by her thought-product.

The reading public is to be congratulated on the fact that Mrs. Townsend essayed the ambitious task of writing a book, and that the book is "In the Nantahalas."

It is a story of heart-touching interest in which a labor of love and justice is apparent. It forms the motif of the book. The mountaineers of North Carolina are presented in their true character, and not as the ignorant, shiftless, hopeless people who live in sensational fiction and in the newspaper articles of the uninformed missionary zealot.

Judge Jeter C. Pritchard, who as United States Senator reflected honor on his State, and who is now rendering distinguished service as Judge of the United States Circuit Court, is proud of the fact that he is one of these "mountain whites." Judge Pritchard says: "I have recently read with much pleasure Mrs. F. L. Townsend's book entitled 'In the Nantahalas.'
