ABOUT THE BOOK: [This is] a series of short stories about the goings on of White's small town (Emporia, Kansas) and the lives of its residents. Emporia, despite its size, had a fair number of interesting stories--from High Society, rich men and their affairs to the lives and deaths of its residents, including the "language" in which they speak (I particularly liked "Bill Parker is making his eighth biennial distribution of cigars today for a boy" (as opposed to "Mr and Mrs Parker had a baby boy).~~Amazon review
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: William Allen White (born Feb. 10, 1868, Emporia, Kansas, U.S.—died Jan. 29, 1944, Emporia) American journalist known as the "Sage of Emporia," whose mixture of tolerance, optimism, liberal Republicanism, and provincialism made him the epitome of the thoughtful small-town American. His editorial writing made his own small-town newspaper, the Emporia Gazette, internationally known, and strongly affected at least one U.S. presidential election.
