Description
A Pagan of the Alleghanies is a novel written by Marah Ellis Ryan, first published in 1902. The story is set in the Appalachian Mountains of the United States and follows the life of a young girl named Rawnie, who is raised in the wilderness by her father, a pagan healer and spiritual leader of their community. Rawnie grows up with a deep connection to nature and a strong sense of self-reliance, but her world is turned upside down when she is forced to leave her home and confront the outside world. Along the way, she encounters a range of characters, including a wealthy landowner, a traveling preacher, and a group of miners, each of whom challenges her beliefs and values in different ways. Ultimately, Rawnie must navigate the complex social and cultural landscape of turn-of-the-century America, while staying true to her own identity and spiritual beliefs. A Pagan of the Alleghanies is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of identity, faith, and the clash between tradition and modernity.1891. The book begins: Along the walls of the Alleghanies that stand to the west had crept winds of the south with the kisses of spring in them. Faintest of tender greens and uncertain reds of the new leaves were creeping out along that part of the mountain that rests in little broken waves, as the gown of a woman lies in folds about the feet ere the beginning of those long lines of grace that reach upward to curve of throat or hooded head.
