Books like The Methods of Uncle Abner by Melville Davisson Post


The Methods of Uncle Abner brings together a novelet and three detective tales that had long awaited publication in book form. They continue the adventures of Uncle Abner, a formidable country squire rooted in the hill regions of pre‑Civil War (West) Virginia. A seasoned Army of God warlord, Abner rides his chestnut horse to confront sinister forces, embodying the spirit of American folklore. These stories maintain the same compelling conception and execution found in the earlier eighteen Abner tales first published in 1911 and collected in 1918 under *Uncle Abner: Master of Mysteries*.
First publish date: 1974
Genre: Mystery & Detective/Historical Mystery
