Books with author Herbert West

Only a man who knows the Massachusetts and New York countryside intimately could write so absorbing and exciting a book as Border Iron. The story moves against a glowing and detailed background which completely transports the reader to the time and surroundings in which it takes place. It tells how a very real boy, Tod Randall, and his important black and white sheepdog, Limb, solve a border dispute over iron ore from Massachusetts for a furnace in York Province in the 1740s. Tod is a lonely orphan boy searching for his only living relative, whom he faintly remembers "in a small house surrounded by white lilacs near a harbor full of little sailing ships." During his varied adventures, which are both tragic and funny, he leads a difficult life as an ore-train driver for a bullying deputy sheriff. The climax is a glorious fist fight in which Tod triumphs over the villain of the story, proving himself capable of taking a man's place in the community.

Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ...The nearest hotel was several miles further on. As the responsible head of the party, I judged that it would be a good thing to try to obtain lodgings at the little white cottage that had placed itself so happily in our path. The ladies were agreeable to the arrangements, and so was Mrs. Walton, the, mistress of the house. There were some slight inconveniences attending the improvised plan, but they were not unsurmount able. And there we had shelter, food, rest, and sound sleep until the bright morning of May 18th. HE morning of May 18th, slightly misty, but with the Tpromise of a fair day, found me in the attic of Mrs. Walton’s wayside cottage, wide awake and planning for the immediate future by 6 o’clock. It is a different and much sterner outlook when you have three ladies on a long walk as your responsibility, instead of your single masculine self, no matter how reliant and efficient may be your charges. I felt the difference, but tried to face the task with courageous faith. But I owed the substantial comfort of that tiny room under the shingles, through which peeped here and there pin-points of daylight, to the energy and initiative of the youngest member of our group, Dorothy Whipple. She it was who, seeing I was about to be exiled to sleep on the barn floor, used her influence with success to have an unused cot set up with sheets and a blanket in this unthought-of corner of the house, and with her own hands carried water and other appurtenances for the improvised bed-room. Our party met, bright and refreshed, about 7.30 o’clock at the breakfast table. I approached our hostess with some curiosity on the question of our collective indebtedness. She very modestly asked: “ Will $10 be too much?” I thought...
