About this Item

Green boards with ivory printing and gold hour glass on front board and spine, embossed eagles on front; 477 pages with advertisements for additional Bobbs-Merrill Company titles. "In the early eighties Fairport considered herself a city; but she was, in fact, an overgrown, delightful town sprawling among the low hills of the Mississippi Valley. Near enough the town's origin still to distinguich its outlines, but remote enough to idelize them, the old settlers were a power, and could be found of a sunny afternoon at Luke Darrell's livery stable, busy with the apotheosis of the days when they shot quail before breafkast; true brotherly love prevailed among men; and the river was the highway of commerce." -- opening paragraphs.
