Sobre este artículo
Montreal: Lovell, 1874. First edition.. Original brown cloth stamped in blind, spine and front cover lettered in gilt. Brown coated end papers. Considerable wear to spine and corners, the back cover and last couple of leaves stained, foxing to early and late leaves; generally a very good copy otherwise. An undated ownership inscription on the front end paper is from Richmond, P.Q. A novel set in Canada, mainly in a village called Elmwood in Quebec. It has been postulated that this author is the same Harriet S. Caswell [1834-1909] who was the author of "Our Life Among the Iroquois Indians" (Boston, 1892); however, recent research suggests another possibility in the person of one Henry Sheldon Caswell, a schoolteacher who lived in Sherbrooke, Quebec, and died in 1900. In any case, a scarce book.
