22 The Berea Quarterly a girl card wool, but something strange had come over me the first few days. Perhaps it was on the night we came back from peddling vegetables in the mining camp, when I was so grateful to exchange my horse for the sure-footed little old mule which my companion rode. I had smiled to myself in the morning as I glanced at the bridle tied up with blue calico rags, the rope reins full of knots, and a saddle lacking the least vestige of leather and fast losing even its rag padding! By night, as we came down the stony ledges of "Little Black," I stroked his tangled mane, and called him by all the pet names I knew which would fit a black- nosed little mule, and at last clasped his neck confidently when the rag saddle slipped; after that I always chose a mule if choice there were! Folks of Few " Advantages " Perhaps the change came over me at the fearlessness of the fifteen-year-old girl who rode with me that night as we came over the mountain alone. No, I think it was something more commonplace than that—admiration for another girl, no older, who tapped my shoes for me. Mile after mile I tramped in them, over more stones in one hour than I had seen in all my life before, but still the heels did not turn, the soles did not warp, nor the nails come through. Then a lump came in my throat when she told me that she was sure she would like history better than algebra—she thought there would be more in "hit."

This article, pages 5 to 19, is titled, “Kephart the Hunter.” It appears in the January 1914 issue of The Berea Quarterly. On page 2 is a photograph taken from Kephart’s book “Our Southern Highlanders.” Horace Kephart (1862-1931) was a noted naturalist, woodsman, journalist, and author. In 1904, he left St. Louis and permanently moved to western North Carolina. Living and working in a cabin on Hazel Creek in Swain County, Kephart began to document life in the Great Smoky Mountains. “Our Southern Highlanders” was first published in 1913 and revised in 1922.
