Summary

1. The author divides this collection of sixteen stories into five sections. The first and second, embracing ten stories, are acute recollections of youthful experiences. Two stories about the Civil War make up the next section. Four stories examine the inevitably changing relationships between men and women. The concluding section, a long story, is an adult recollection of an earlier time, and like the other stories, it reveals a sensiblility that reflects maturity and reason.--Provided by publisher.
