Set in the rural landscape of Obedstown, East Tennessee, the narrative introduces Squire Hawkins as he reflects on his surroundings from a pyramid of stones outside his decaying log cabin. The area, known as the "Knobs of East Tennessee," is characterized by its unremarkable reputation and gradual mountain rise. The scene depicts a humble, chaotic homestead, complete with sleeping hounds, scattered debris, and a weary cat, painting a vivid picture of the simple yet challenging life in this remote community.
