Based on fact, the story tells of a strike by the girls in a match factory in 1888, when unions were still groping for recognition and mass withdrawal of labour was an almost unheard-of strategy in industrial relations.

Reprinting the classic adventure from Judges GuildAn adventure in the wilderness stronghold of a band of brigands that includes the background and statistics of an evil local deity, plus history, maps, and keyed room descriptions of a five-level dungeon carved out of the side of a mountain. The first three levels are fairly easy and suitable for breaking in new and inexperienced players; but the lower two are far tougher, and include a cavern that has a series of four dragon dens, indicative of the difficulty of the lower levels.

At a time when there is very little entertainment except for an occasional barn dance or a shopping trip to Pontotoc or Toccopola, the Baptist Church is the big show, and the Reverend James Robert Williams is the star. After a successful spring revival in 1914 in which sixty-four souls are brought into the fold, the handsome silver-tongued preacher falls from grace into the open arms of the lovely Elvira. The preacher finds himself faced with two choices: duty, honor, and respectability on the one hand, and on the other, Simon-pure love blended and harmonized with the steamy passion of carnal lust.The constable, Little Joe, who pursues the couple, was actually the author''s grandfather.
