About this book
A Cumberland Vendetta is dedicated to Minerva and Elizabeth. The text describes a cave that had been their hiding-place as children, a secret refuge now against hunger or darkness when they were hunting in the woods. The text says that when the feud began, no one knew, and that both families had come as friends from Virginia long ago and had lived as enemies nearly half a century.
The text says the Lewallens were for the Union, while the Stetsons owned a few slaves and fought for them. The text says the Stetsons owned valley-lands while the Lewallens kept store and made “moonshine.” The text says that in time of hostility the Cumberland came to be the boundary between life and death for the dwellers on each shore.
