Time of Man A Novel

1926. American poet and novelist, Roberts is best known for her novels and stories of the Kentucky mountain people, whose dialect and customs she realistically portrayed. The Time of Man begins: Ellen wrote her name in the air with her finger, Ellen Chesser, leaning forward and writing on the horizontal plane. Beside her in the wagon her mother huddled under an old shawl to keep herself from the damp, complaining, We ought to be a-goen on. If I had all the money there is in the world, Ellen said, slowly, I'd go along in a big red wagon and I wouldn't care if it taken twenty horses to pull it along. Such a wagon as would never break down. She wrote her name again in the horizontal of the air.
