The Shepherd of the Hills is the classic story of the stranger who takes the Old Trail deep into the Ozark Mountains, many miles from civilization. His appearance signals intellect and culture, yet his countenance is marked by grief and disappointment. What is his purpose in taking on the lowly work of tending local sheep? And how is it that he befriends these simple hill folk, despite his coming from the world beyond the ridges? Mystery and romance envelop this gentle yet compelling story as the identity and purpose of the stranger-turned-shepherd is gradually unveiled.

Book Description
This exceptional history profiles Gouldtown, a settlement which in many ways typified small-town life in the New England of long ago. The historic settlement of Gouldtown, New Jersey carries a notable role in US history, with several distinguished persons born within its bounds. Although small, the town is remarkable for being one of the best catalogued in its region; this history contains dozens of photographs of local landmarks and community figures, immersing readers in the tight-knit existence residents led centuries ago. As such, this can be considered a snapshot of life in a distant period of America's past. Being written at the beginning of the 20thcentury, this work's style is vastly different from a modern history textbook. We are told a series of anecdotes - these are interesting, even whimsical, stories of the times before and after Gouldtown's founding. Various events and well-known locals are discussed, their spirit and determination to succeed and persevere detailed to a superb degree. We discover how locals supported local trade and commerce, contributed to religious life, and fought valiantly in the U.S. Civil War and other conflicts of the 19th century. In all, those interested in New England and American life long ago will find much value in this chronicle of the past.
