The Wilderness And The Rose - A Story Of Michigan
Paperback
(Gleed Press July 24, 2009)
Originally published in 1890, PREFACE: It is the intent of these pages to delineate the scenes and incidents of pioneer life in the Peninsular state. It has been the aim to present, in the characters of the narrative, composite pictures of men and women who were active participants in the events of the historic period of the Great Lake State, and who helped to make the commonwealth what it is today. The purpose has also been to preserve the flavor of the romances and adventures of our forefathers, who abounded in humour as well as philosophy, and who extracted the most there was from the practical side of life.....This early works is a fascinating novel of the period and still an interesting read today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
