Excerpt from the ad: "In this essentially new book of poems Dr. Brush holds again the atmosphere of his native hills, augmenting his earlier work with much humorous upland-folk-verse, and including the best from his earlier successful Songs of the Susquehanna. ... A certain originality of language and motive growing directly from the [e]ntrenched old American hill peoples' thought and customs, with a constant singing lyric beauty, should give these poems permanent place in the growing literature of the Allegh[e]nies.".
