The revival in Paradise Valley, conducted by the Reverend Silas Crafts, of South Tredegar, was in the middle of its second week, and the field-to use Brother Crafts' own word-was white to the harvest.

The revival in Paradise Valley, conducted by the Reverend Silas Crafts, of South Tredegar, was in the middle of its second week, and the field-to use Brother Crafts' own word-was white to the harvest. Little Zoar, the square, weather-tinged wooden church at the head of the valley, built upon land donated to the denomination in times long past by an impenitent but generous Major Dabney, stood a little way back from the pike in a grove of young pines. By half-past six of the June evening the revivalist's congregation had begun to assemble. Those who came farthest were first on the ground; and by the time twelve-year-old Thomas Jefferson, spatting barefooted up the dusty pike, had reached the church-house with the key, there was a goodly sprinkling of unhitched teams in the grove, the horses champing their feed noisily in the wagon-boxes, and the people gathering in little neighborhood knots to discuss gravely the one topic uppermost in all minds-the present outpouring of grace on Paradise Valley and the region round-about.

Autorenporträt
Francis Lynde (1856-1930) was an American author distinguished for his works that combined suspense with romantic adventure, typifying early 20th-century popular literature. Lynde's career burgeoned in an era when the expanding market for fiction spurred a demand for serialized stories and novels. 'The Quickening' stands as a testament to Lynde's narrative prowess, showcasing his deft interweaving of legal and moral quandaries within a setting that illustrates the industrial boom-a recurrent theme in Lynde's writings. Born amid the rugged terrains of Lewiston, New York, Lynde later earned his degree in Civil Engineering, an expertise perceptibly influencing his literary landscapes. Often selecting backdrops resonant with industrial development, his detailed settings support character developments and complex plotlines. Beyond 'The Quickening,' Lynde's prolific output included over 25 novels, imbuing each with realism and intrigue, as well as scores of short stories. His notable works include 'The Grafters,' 'The Empire Builders,' and 'The Master of Appleby,' all of which solidified his reputation in early American popular fiction. Although today he may not be as widely recognized as some contemporaries, Lynde's contributions to the adventure and romance genres are nonetheless significant, reflecting the economic and social changes of his time.
