Description: Abimelech Baird, a hill man of the Missouri Ozarks, at the age of 20 quits his father’s cabin on Baird’s Peak and descends on the plain town of Millersville. Here he begins the practice of law, with scant learning but much native hill wisdom and no little native shrewdness. His rise in the community is sure and swift until he becomes infatuated with Bessie Miller, a “little scrap of prettiness, an’ no more.” Bessie precipitates a devastating situation which promises to be his undoing. The solution of this unhappy entanglement carries the tale to a triumphant close, which leaves this hill-billy the happy husband of a hill woman, while the weak and deceitful Bessie is awarded to Baird’s chief enemy, the devious prosecuting attorney of the town. – New York Times, June 13, 1926, page BR9.
