There are strength and beauty in this gripping novel of post-colonial days in southern New Hampshire. The Tale is of Jared Austin, Journeyman painter, in those soul-trying years of the early nineteenth century. No period in all of the history of these New England settlers is more filled with drama and grim struggle than the dread eighteen hundred and froze to death, when snow fell every month of the year, crops were ruined, cattle perished, and men’s hearts were sorely tried. It is a colorful exciting story that Elizabeth Yates tells—a tale that reconstructs the past of America—a past which built up the ideals we are now fighting to preserve. ( Inside flap)
