The Mountain Girl Illustrated Emma Payne Erskine

A delightful love-story, genuinely American in feeling and treatment. A young British doctor from a wealthy family goes to Canada and then to a remote mountain area in America to build up his health from a long illness. He stays in the cabin of a doctor friend of his who has left the area and gets pulled into the simple but fascinating lives of the mountain people, their feuds, their work, and their families, as he gains strength and begins to help them with his medical skills. He falls in love with a remarkable young mountain woman, and the joys and struggles of their love against the odds of their widely different backgrounds makes for delightful reading.
