The Trail of the Lonesome Pine was written by Ballard MacDonald and Harry Carroll. It was based upon a novel of the same name and was first published in 1913, one year before the outbreak of the first world war. I know it from the (very funny) Laurel and Hardy version, which was a chart hit in the U.K. during the nineteen seventies, several years after both Laurel and Hardy had died.
