Sobre este artículo
New York: A.L. Burt & Company, 1905. Reprint. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 7x5x1. Hitchcock, Lucius Wolcott. Reprint. No jacket. Ink stamp on front paste-down endpaper, two pages taped. 1905 Hard Cover. v, 388 pp. Thirteen pages of publisher ads follow text. Illustrated by Lucius W. Hitchcock. The Conquest of Canaan is the story of social pariah Joe Louden, who as a young man is the subject of much gossip and malignment in the small Midwestern city of Canaan. His fiercest opponent is Judge Pike, the richest and most powerful man in town. In spite of his poverty, Joe begins studying law in his spare time, eventually leaving town to work his way through law school. Returning to Canaan, he begins practicing law, handling the unpopular cases that no one else will touch. After much opposition, he wins the respect of the townspeople and ultimately usurps Judge Pike's power.
Sinopsis
A dry snow had fallen steadily throughout the still night, so that when a cold, upper wind cleared the sky gloriously in the morning the incongruous Indiana town shone in a white harmony - roof, ledge, and earth as evenly covered as by moonlight. There was no thaw; only where the line of factories followed the big bend of the frozen river, their distant chimneys like exclamation points on a blank page, was there a first threat against the supreme whiteness.
