The Mettle of the Pasture is a novel written by James Lane Allen, first published in 1903. Set in rural Kentucky in the late 19th century, the story follows the life of a young farmer named David, who is torn between his love for the land and his desire for a woman named Lucy. David is a hardworking and honest man who has a deep connection to the land, but he is also deeply in love with Lucy, a woman from a wealthy family who is not interested in his simple way of life. As David struggles to reconcile his feelings for Lucy with his love for the land, he must also contend with the challenges of life on the farm, including drought, disease, and financial hardship. Along the way, he meets a number of colorful characters, including a wise old farmer named Uncle Isham and a group of traveling musicians who inspire him to pursue his dreams.The Mettle of the Pasture is a classic American novel that explores themes of love, loyalty, and the struggle to find one's place in the world.
