Diamonds in the Rough e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It will, we believe, go to the right spot in the hearts of young and old, being intensely interesting and instructive, and giving, as it does, the true story of the conditions, needs and possibilities of the thousands of families on these lone mountains, of which the outside world has had but the faint est conception. The book maintains a high moral character and clean, manly tone; and the wholesome lessons it teaches, from vital statistics on Public and Civic Life, Tables of Illiteracy, articles on Child Life, Duties of Parents, etc., make it of much value to all classes and ages.
