The Trail of the Lonesome Pine Summary

Ch.1 – June sees Hale coming toward the cove by the pine. Ch.2 – Hale stops by the pine to rest and sees that he has been observed (by June). Ch.3 – Hale meets June as he fly fishes and also meets Judd Tolliver. Ch.4 – Hale and Judd talk business. He meets Bub and Dave. Ch.5 – Hale goes to Judd’s home. June asks if Hale will return. Ch.6 – Hale tries to decide how to handle the negotiation with Judd over the land‐coal deal; Hale meets the Red Fox, who has been watching his meeting with Judd by telescope from high on the mountain. Ch.7 – Hale’s education is documented. His analysis of geography and geology is explored; he options the Gap. He meets the Falins as they chase Dave Tolliver. Ch.8 – Dave Tolliver decides he hate all “furriners” especially this new one – Hale; especially in relation to June, whom he has picked as his own. Ch.9 – Hale learns the feud began over two kids playing marbles, one making fun of the other’s patched britches. Falins and Tollivers begin to fight. Bad Rufe and Red Fox talk while Hale sits on the porch. Ch.10 – Hale re‐visits Lonesome Cove. June is angry at Hale because Dave has come by to tell them that Hale has placed Loretta, her cousin, on his mule and ridden her home. Hale thinks about saving June from her surroundings & is amazed that June – child and woman – will go with him anywhere. Ch.11 – Hale and Sam Budd form the volunteer police force. The mountain culture is described anthropologically. Dave’s jealousy of Hale is described. Old Buck Falin and Old Dave Tolliver shoot each other and the Red Fox tends equally to both. Once the feud increases intensity, Judd give permission for June to go to the Gap to school, a request that Hale has made of him for almost a year. Ch.12 – Hale brings June to the Gap and introduces her to Miss Anne, the schoolteacher, and Widow Crane, with whom June will room & board. June pays close attention to the dress and speech of Miss Anne and her ambition and fear of being made fun of by the others leads her to excel. June and Mrs. Crane purchase June a new wardrobe. Ch.13 – Hale buys land in town; June is in a school fight; Dave comes into town drunk and is arrested but agrees to go home. He feels June has betrayed him, when she has called out for Hale to watch for Dave’s pistol. Ch.14 – Law and order comes to the Gap. Laws prevent moon‐shining so that only one legal saloon is left in town, which can be supervised by the law. Dave is caught buying illegal moonshine & is jailed. The Falin come to arrest Dave for murder but Hale’s lawmen won’t give him up (so Dave’s life is saved).

Ch.15 – June learns the proper names of flowers from Hale as spring brings the plants to bloom. Hale & Ms. Anne (Saunders) find that June loves Hale and that Anne is somewhat chagrined at the fact. Hale & June kiss for the first time. Hale thinks that whatever happens, he will see to her education. Hale purchases June the fairy‐stone necklace. Ch.16 – June goes home for the summer and finds the flower garden which Hale has had planted for her. Ch.17 – June comes home and the old conflicts are apparent. Judd declares his friendship for Hale much to the chagrin of Dave & the Red Fox. The step mother is again unfriendly to June, but Judd tells her that he is glad that she is home. Ch.18 – Describes June’s summer at home, her garden, visits from Hale, and jealousy of Dave Tolliver to Hale. Hale has saved Dave from the Falins and now Dave warns Hale that the Falins will ambush him on his way to court; also, they will never be friends. Ch. 19 – Hale takes June to the city and to the tutelage of his sister, Helen Hale. June’s first train ride, her first city visit is overwhelming. Ch.20 – The boom is described; Hale proposes to June (finally – kind of); the bust is described; the feud begins again; Judd & Hale agree that Hale & June should marry and live at the Gap. Ch.21 – June becomes much more educated; Hale becomes more uncouth; She returns to the Gap beautiful and resplendent while he is dirty, unshaven, & coarse. Ch.22 – Hale comes to realize that he has sent her away to become suitable to marry him; now, he is not suitable to marry her. He is far in debt due to the “bust”, but he thinks the Lonesome Cove mine may at least leave him in “fair” financial shape with no money to continue, (however, this is really not the case). Ch.23 – Hale tells June that he understands that she cannot live in Lonesome Cove or the Gap, that she must live her life while he stays in the Gap. June gets to the Cove to find that Hale has had her garden tended and that he has built her a beautiful room on the cabin with piano, bedroom & pictures. Ch.24 – Bad Rufe comes home to take part in the feud and kills a policeman at the Gap. Hale confronts Judd over Bad Rufe’s killing the policeman. With a Falin supporting Hale, Judd declares that June will not marry Hale. Ch.25 – The Red Fox tells Hale where Rufe is hiding. Rufe is captured. Judd tells Hale that no Tolliver has ever been found guilty of murder and hanged, and it won’t happen now. Ch.26 – June is called to testify to Rufe’s statement that he is going to the Gap to kill a policeman. Ch.27 – Hale catches the Red Fox as old Dave Tolliver’s murderer. Ch.28 – Rufe is brought back to hang; the Red Fox is convicted.
