Charles Egbert Craddock.

Miss Mary Noallles Murfree (Charles Egbert Craddock) was born near Murfreesboro, Tenn., as the encyclopedias indefinitely state, “about 1850." She passed her youth among the scenes which she describrs in her novels and acquired by association and contact with the people of East Tennessee that familiarity with their manners and dialect which enables her to describe them as well as she does. She became a contributor to the Atlantic Monthly before 1880. Her various works were published as follows; “In the Tennessee Moumtiainn," in 1884; "The Prophet of the Great Smoky Mountains,” 1884; “The Despot of Broomsedge Cave,” fa 1888; “In the Stranger People’s Country," 1801, and “His Vanished Star," 1804.
