Excerpt from In the Shadow of the Pines: A Tale of Tidewater Virginia Times and places are made conspicuous by events and personalities. Dates are given significance by the measure of the effect upon humanity of what they represent. The village of Deep Creek would not have such conspicuous mention here, were it not for an event or two, and several personalities. The events are not of unusual importance, nor are the persons exceptionally notable, but for the purpose of this work they are essential.

Excerpt from The Shadow of the Sheltering Pines: A New Romance of the Storm Country Another winter had lifted its icy fingers from the Storm Country and Lake Cayuga, and an early spring had brought from the south the redbreasted robins and thousands of other birds to build their homes in the Forest City, as Ithaca, New York, is called. No wonder the name had been given to the quiet town of people, for to the south, the east, the west, and even to the north where the lake cut sharply around a corner, broad forests stretched their lengths and heights of leaf and bough on miniature mountains.

Excerpt from Meggie of "the Pines" Meggie was barefoot. Of course, and her short, faded calico dress plainly told that she was a tearer rather than a mender, a stainer rather than a washer. Meg Was quite a curiosity to persons only accustomed to civilized regions and a decent way of life, - and as great a curiosity to Meg was a well-dressed stranger. She never failed to favor such a rare visitor with a long, curi ous stare of her great black eyes, and to keep her gaze fixed upon him while there was a shadow of him to be seen.

Excerpt from The Strength of the Pines The man's voice changed at once - went back to its same urgent, but rather embarrassed ton'e.

Excerpt from Glory of the Pines: A Tale of the Ontonagon In some instances names of the old forest friends with whom it has been my pleasure either to work or play have been retained. Their good nature will not permit them to resent what seemed necessary in recounting the scenes of a happy fellowship with them. Fictitious names for such sincere men and women seem a kind of sacrilege. It is here taken for granted that people generally appre ciate the portrayal of life where reality and the note of honor and manhood emerge sur prisingly from rugged and unconventional men. With this thought in mind there are here set down some of the striking features of a woods parish, enlarged upon now and then.

Excerpt from In the Shadow of Lantern Street They're not very big, but they'll stand no end 0' work, and they don't need much to eat. This point pleased the patron so heartily that he hit the donkey across the hind leg to test his temper. The Rat showed his teeth in a grin of satisfaction, and without even a word to the boy was gone. Follow me now and be spry, said the rug-maker, and led the way into a low shed where bales Of rugs in burlap were piled high, and in a great bin were count less balls of yarn, blue and grey, red and brown, yel low, black and white. Next to the bin was another enormous pile of yarn, undyed, and this in big bundles the rug man and one of his coolies began loading upon the donkey's back, tying it on with ropes, and balancing the load with great skill. When they had finished, the gentle face Of patient little Brother looked out from under a mountain of yam - enough to tax the broad back of a dray horse.
