The Harpe’s Head: A Legend Of Kentucky is a novel written by James Hall. The story is set in the late 18th century in Kentucky, and it revolves around the infamous Harpe brothers, who were known for their brutal and violent crimes. The novel follows the life of a young man named Hugh, who is drawn into the world of the Harpe brothers after a chance encounter with them. As he becomes more involved with the Harpes, Hugh is forced to confront his own moral code and question his loyalty to the brothers. The novel is a gripping tale of violence, betrayal, and redemption, set against the backdrop of the Kentucky wilderness. James Hall’s vivid descriptions of the landscape and the characters make The Harpe’s Head a must-read for anyone interested in American history or the darker side of human nature.The floor was formed by logs embedded in the ground, and covered with dried grass. The only visible articles of property consisted of an iron stew-pan, a steel trap, an axe, and a quantity of skins. Motioning to his companion to seat himself on the floor, Hark proceeded with some alacrity to prepare a meal. In the first place, he drew from a magazine of sundries, hidden in one corner of his tent, several pieces of jerked venison dried so hard as to be nearly of the consistency of wood, but which, by the bye, was by no means unpalatable.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
