About
"In the 'Stranger People's' Country" by Charles Egbert Craddock is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative intertwines elements of folklore and Appalachian culture, focusing on the mysterious "Leetle People," who are believed to be a lost race buried within the Great Smoky Mountains. The central characters appear to include Stephen Yates, his wife Adelaide, and their idolized child "leetle Mose," whose bond with his mother provides a backdrop to the unfolding events. The opening of the novel introduces the haunting surroundings where the forgotten pygmy dwellers rest in their graves, stirring curiosity and superstition among the local mountaineers. In a conversation between Stephen and Adelaide, the significance of the Leetle People emerges, as they discuss the valley man's enthusiasm for them and the implications of resurrecting their forgotten memory. Adelaide seems particularly affected by their lore, visualizing them as innocent children waiting to greet a new dawn
