Summary
  1. "This chronologically selected anthology provides a representative selection of texts that makes accessible the literary achievement of a "lost" author who wrote to preserve Ohio's rural village culture as the nineteenth century drew to a close. The anthology explores contemporary idioms in a "local color" style and deserves to be resurrected in order to remind modern students how Middle-Western culture, indeed, included women writers as social critics and mythmakers."--BOOK JACKET.
