I am not crazy about short stories but these were wonderful, great characters, very moving with insight to the terrible times in the lives of mountain people after the civil war. MUFFLES "He might have been a weed, but he was never a flower, A weed that grew up between the cobbles,crouching under the hoofs of horses and the tramp of men , and who was pulled up and thrown aside and still lived on and flourished in various ways , and all that tenacity of purpose and buoyancy of spirit which distinguishes all weeds and which never by any possibility marks a better quality of plant, vegetable or animal.
