| Summary | "A Chilhowee Lily" by Charles Egbert Craddock is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story is set against the backdrop of the Appalachian mountains, delving into themes of love, secrecy, and the pursuit of lost treasure, symbolized by the delicate Chilhowee lily. The narrative intricately weaves local character dynamics amid the rugged beauty and complexity of rural life in the mountains. The plot centers around Rufe Kinnicutt, a young mountaineer grappling with his feelings for Loralindy Byars amid rumors of hidden treasure linked to a past mining mishap. When a letter from Paul Renfrow, a wounded mining agent, surfaces, referencing the treasure buried beside a Chilhowee lily, it stirs the local community and leads to a frantic search for the elusive cache. As Kinnicutt struggles with jealousy and the implications of Renfrow's memory on their budding relationship, Loralindy upholds her promise to keep the secret of the treasure, leading to a bittersweet conclusion that underscores the disparities between love and loyalty in the face of desire and greed.
