| Summary | "In Beaver Cove and Elsewhere" by Miss Matt Crim is a collection of stories written in the late 19th century. The stories are set in the southern Appalachian region, focusing on the lives and social interactions of the mountaineer community in Georgia, exploring themes of love, jealousy, and the struggles of rural life. The main characters of the opening story are Ephraim Hurd, a young man wracked with jealousy and moral conflict, and Armindy Hudgins, a beautiful and flirtatious girl around whom a love triangle forms. The opening portion sets the stage for a vibrant community dance in Beaver Cove, where Ephraim Hurd grapples with his feelings for Armindy Hudgins, who appears to prefer his rival, Elisha Cole. The lively atmosphere is contrasted with Ephraim's inner turmoil, as he feels betrayed and humiliated. The dance serves as a backdrop for his emotional struggle, leading him to reluctantly betray Elisha to the authorities. This introduction establishes the complex relationships and high stakes among the characters, hinting at deeper conflicts that unfold as the narrative progresses.
