The sixty-year period following the American Civil War was a time of great wealth accumulation and materialistic excess. This book examines the reasons for the new wealth and its unequal distribution, why quail were the preferred quarry of Gilded Age barons, what attracted the hunting moguls to the North Carolina Piedmont, what became of them and their hunting estates, and how technology produced changes that transformed the American landscape, causing the collapse of quail populations once thought limitless. The Pine Needles lodge, established in 1912, is examined in detail with novel stories based on records, memorabilia, and recollections of descendants of those involved in the establishment and management of the lodge.

Flannery O’Connor's WISE BLOOD is a text full of rich symbolism, a metaphoric landscape which is best understood using an integration of literary and depth psychological hermeneutics. Applying an anagogical framework to the novel, an interpretive approach meant to reveal spiritual meaning, makes it possible to see through the world of O'Connor's Taulkinham, the fictional setting for the novel, to that of the biblical.

A great amount of ink has been spilled attempting to understand and make sense of Henry David Thoreau. Some people dismiss Thoreau as a mere Romantic nature poet or writer of travel narratives. The purpose of the essays in this anthology is to explore the multifaceted ways in which Thoreau's thought could be considered philosophical. He wanted to create a distinctive American identity that sought to venerate nature by trying to overcome our anthropocentric bias and place the value of wild spaces before the utilitarian needs of human civilization.
