Book excerpt: This carefully edited collection of adventure novels has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Melville Davisson Post (1869-1930) was an American author, born in West Virginia. He wrote novels about the life in mountains and lives of man who, like him, have spent many years of their lives among them. These novels are intertwined with philosophy, and Biblical allegories. Although his name is not immediately familiar to those outside of specialist circles many collections of detective fiction include works by him. Post's best-known character is the mystery solving, justice dispensing West Virginian backwoodsman, Uncle Abner. Post also wrote number of stories about Randolph Mason, a brusque New York lawyer who is highly skilled at turning legal loopholes and technicalities to his clients' advantage. Post's other recurring characters include Sir Henry Marquis of Scotland Yard, the French policeman Monsieur Jonquelle and the Virginia lawyer Colonel Braxton.
