The Little Catamount Filming Locations

Hattie, a moonshiner's daughter, plays with her weird dog, Fanny, and rules her father with a rod of iron. To their mountain cabin comes Neighbor Dawson, another moonshiner, and arranges with Hattie's father to marry her. This does not agree with Hattie's ideas at all. She pummels them both vigorously and flees to her favorite mountain walk. There she meets Pete, another suitor, who in spite of her lively resistance, seizes and kisses her. Her cries are heard by Wallace, a stranger from the city, who has come to the mountains to fish. He throws Pete in the stream. That worthy clambers out and hurries to father. When Hattie reaches home, Pete is telling about her talking to the city stranger. The acquaintance begun with the stranger ripens into love, as the two meet often on pretext of teaching writing to Hattie. Pete, inflamed with jealousy tells Dawson that Wallace is a revenue officer, and one evening, while Wallace is on his way to meet Hattie at the picturesque rendezvous half a mile away, they shoot him. He is picked up by a passing mountaineer, and cared for in the latter's cabin for a week before he is able to return to Hattie. Meantime, Hattie, thinking Wallace has forgotten her, is in the depths of despair and resolves on suicide. She bids good-bye to Fanny and starts for the top of a great cliff to throw herself off. Meantime, her farewell note to her father is found by Wallace, and an exciting pursuit follows. All ends happily, with Pete receiving his deserts, and "the little catamount" happy in the arms of her lover.
