AsinCrittenden a Kentucky Story of Love and War
1911. War correspondent and author, Fox wrote 14 novels and 45 short stories. The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come is his best-known and best-selling book. Crittenden begins: Day breaking on the edge of the Bluegrass and birds singing the dawn in. Ten minutes swiftly along the sunrise and the world is changed: from nervous exaltation of atmosphere to an air of balm and peace; from grim hills to the rolling sweep of green slopes; from a high mist of thin verdure to low wind-shaken banners of young leaves; from giant poplar to white ash and sugar-tree; from log-cabin to homesteads of brick and stone; from wood-thrush to meadowlark; rhododendron to bluegrass; from mountain to lowland, Crittenden was passing home.
