Men of the Mountains was Jesse
Stuart’s second book of short stories to
be published, twenty-one in number. In
this book Stuart writes about the
“comedy and the drama in the lives of
men and women, young and old, of his own
Kentucky” (Dust Jacket). He
dedicated the book “To Martha [Foley] and Whit
[Burnett] who published my first story.”
The story, “Battle Keaton Dies,” was the first
short story Stuart wrote; it was published in Story in its July 1935 issue
and was included in Stuart’s first
collection of short stories, Head of
W-Hollow.
The story was based on Stuart’s
grandfather Nathan Hilton.
