"Murdoch of Buckhorn was written by the Reverend G. Gordon Mahy, Jr., who was Dean of Witherspoon College and Associate Minister at Buckhorn for six years prior to becoming a missionary to China under the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. During his extended furlough, he has been minister and teacher at Warren Wilson Junior College, at Swannanoa, in the highlands of North Carolina. The author was an intimate friend and worthy associate of Harvey S. Murdoch. His deep insights and broad information qualify him for presenting this historical picture of missionary pioneering in the highlands of the Southland. This he has done as a labor of love in the hope that youth, especially in the Buckhorn country, may find inspiration from its pages and "keep the Murdoch Trail open." Though a religious biography, Murdoch of Buckhorn is a story of romantic charm and is as readable as fiction. To those interested in the Church and its ministry, it has a meaning and a message beyond the narrow boundary of an isolated mission field."--Front jacket flap.
