A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Chapter I: TK eD oomdorf Mystery THE pioneer was not the only man in the great mountains behind Virginia. Strange aliens drifted in after the Colonial wars, AH foreign armies are sprinkled with a cockle of adventurers that take root and remain. They were with Braddock and La Salle, and they rode north out of Mexico after her many empiresivent to pieces. I think Doomdorf crossed the eas with Iturbide when that ill-starred adventurerf eturned to be shot against a wall; but there was noS outhern blood in him. He came from some European race remote and barbaric. The evidences were all about him. He was a huge figure of a man, with a black spade beard, broad, thick hands, and square, fiat fingers. He had found a wedge of land between the Crown sgrant toD aniel Davisson and a Washington survey. It was an uncovered triangle not worth the running of the lines; and so, no doubt, was left out, a sheer rock standing up out of the river for a base, and a peak of the mountain rising northward behind it for an apex. Doomdorf squatted on the rock.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Melville Davisson Post (April 19, 1869 – June 23, 1930) was an American author, born in Harrison County, West Virginia. Although his name is not immediately familiar to those outside of specialist circles, many of his collections are still in print, and many collections of detective fiction include works by him. Post's best-known character is the mystery solving, justice dispensing West Virginian backwoodsman, Uncle Abner. The 22 Uncle Abner tales, written between 1911 and 1928, have been called some of "the finest mysteries ever written". Post's other recurring characters include the lawyers Randolph Mason and Colonel Braxton, and the detectives Sir Henry Marquis and Monsieur Jonquelle.
