New Harvest: Forgotten Stories of Kentucky's Jesse Stuart

by Jesse Stuart, David R. Palmore (Compiler)

New Harvest is the first collection of previously uncollected Stuart short stories in more than twenty years. This collection of twenty-two short stories spans Stuart's full writing career; none have ever been published in any other previous books. These stories have been culled from hundreds of the periodicals and journals that made him the best known Appalachian and Kentucky writer of the twentieth century. They are the---forgotten stories---stories that will be new and fresh to even the most dedicated Jesse Stuart readers.
