''The Prophet of the Great Smoky Mountains'' is a novel written by Charles Egbert Craddock. It tells the story of a man named Prophet Elias, who lives in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Prophet Elias is a mysterious figure who is revered by the people of the mountains for his wisdom and his ability to heal the sick. He is also feared by some, who believe he has supernatural powers. The novel explores the relationships between Prophet Elias and the people of the mountains, including a young girl named Nance, who becomes his disciple. As Nance grows up, she begins to question Prophet Elias’s teachings and his motives, leading to a dramatic and unexpected conclusion. The novel is a powerful exploration of faith, love, and the human condition, set against the backdrop of the rugged and beautiful Great Smoky Mountains.The ''gang o’ men''--actively described by his mother as ''lopin’ roun’ the mill''--lingered long in conclave this morning. Perhaps their views had a more confident and sturdy effect from being propounded at the top of the voice, since the insistent whir of the busy old mill drowned all efforts in a lower tone; but it was very generally the opinion that Micajah Green had transcended all the license of his official character in making the arrest at the place and time he had selected.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
