Jesse Stuart’s Plowshares in Heaven brings together
twenty-five short stories. The book
“presents the broad panorama of the
mountain people and their of life.” Its
tales are “humorous, astonishing,
sometimes outrageous, always
authentic...for which Jesse Stuart has
earned his reputation as one of
America’s finest and most original
writers” (Dust jacket).
The Jesse Stuart Collection holds three
copies of this title, all inscribed with
personal messages by the author. The
first is to Henry Lee Shattuck, a
Bostonian lawyer and close friend; and
the second to John Wilson Townsend, a
good friend and regional author of
Appalachian fiction like Stuart; and the
third to Dr. D. B. Kraybill, a West
Virginian and fellow educator like
Stuart.
