The unfinished novel from which this collection of sketches, stories, and novellas takes its title was Wolfe's final effort. It tells the story of the Joyner family, George Webber's maternal ancestors, in pre-Civil War North Carolina and illustrates Wolfe's fine sense of family traits rooted in a traceable past. \"Chickamauga\" is the superb Civil War tale that Wolfe received from his great-uncle; \"The Lost Boy\" renders a second, more tender, treatment of the death of young Grover Gant; and \"The Return of the Prodigal\" describes Eugene Gant's imagined and then actual revisit to Altamont when he is a famous author. Together the eleven pieces of \u003ci\u003eThe Hills Beyond \u003c\/i\u003econfirm the passion, energy, and sensitivity that made Wolfe the most promising American writer of his generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThomas Wolfe was born in Asheville, North Carolina, in 1900 and died of complications from pneumonia in 1938.
