This is the annotated version of the book. we had tried to annotate this book by adding a summary at the end of each chapter of the book. this book is actually written by Emma Payne Erskine. A Brief Description of her life is written as follows. Emma Payne Erskine (May 10, 1854 - March 4, 1924) was the author of several works of fiction around the turn of the 20th century, such as The Eye of Dread and The Mountain Girl.[3] She usually had a strong heroine figure, and her writing has been described as "genuinely American in feeling and treatment. A popular writer of her genre during her time, her romance novel, The Mountain Girl, was a leading story in Ladies' Home Journal shortly after it was published. Early lifeIn 1854, Erskine was born in Racine, Wisconsin, to Alfred Payne and Olive Child. Alfred was an artist, which may have led to her portrayal of her main character's father in The Eye of Dread as an artist. She seems to have let her personal life affect the characters and events in her stories quite often, actually. It is possible and likely that her childhood at the brunt of the United States Civil War affected her creation of certain stories that take place at that same time. Being of both English and prominently American ancestry, her stories, such as The Mountain Girl, seem to attempt to draw the two cultures together.Marriage and adult lifeShe married in 1873 to Charles Edwin Erskine and had six children with him. His father Massena Erskine was a partner in the J.I. Case Threshing Machine Company. However, in 1908, Charles died. In 1917, just less than ten years after her first husband's death, she married again to Cecil Corwin from New York City, a lifelong friend of hers and an early mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright. Throughout her life, she was a strong Christian and a patriot. She commonly defended her country's ideals and busied herself with the issues of her nation. She wrote, in total, ten works of fiction, mostly American themed and taking place in North Carolina.DeathShe died in 1924, a resident of the town of Tryon, North Carolina. She had taken a journey shortly before her death to a convention for peace in Washington, D.C.
The Mountain Girl (Classic Reprint) by Payne Erskine Pdf
Excerpt from The Mountain Girl Under the heavy vehicle to which the ill-assorted ani mals were attached, a child lay unconscious, and David sprang forward, his weakness forgotten in the demand for action. In an instant he had drawn the little chap from his perilous position and, seizing the mule, succeeded in backing him to his place. The cause of its fright having by this time disappeared, the colt became tractable and stood quivering and snorting, as David took the bridle from the girl's hand.

The Annotations on the Waterway Classic (Chinese: 水经注; pinyin: Shuǐ Jīng Zhù) is a work on the ancient geography of China, describing the traditional understanding of its waterways and ancient canals, compiled by Li Daoyuan during the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534 AD). The book is divided into sections by river, each described with its source, course, and major tributaries, including cultural and historical notes. The work is much expanded from its source text, the older (and now lost) Waterway Classic (Shuijing 水经). The original text described 137 different rivers in China, and its authorship was attributed to Jin dynasty scholar Guo Pu. Li Daoyuan's 40-volume, 300,000-character version includes 1252 rivers.
