We have more books available by this author!. xviii 346 pp. "More than 600000 soldiers lost their lives in the American Civil War. An equivalent proportion of today's population would be six million. In This Republic of Suffering Drew Gilpin Faust reveals the ways that death on such a scale changed not only individual lives but the life of the nation describing how the survivors managed on a practical level and how a deeply religious culture struggled to reconcile the unprecedented carnage with its belief in a benevolent God. Throughout the voices of soldiers and their families of statesmen generals preachers poets surgeons nurses northerners and southerners come together to give us a vivid understanding of the Civil War's most fundamental and widely shared reality.

1926127468New York London: G. P. Putnam's Sons 1926. Octavo pp. 1-8 1 2 3-334 335-336: blank note: first two and last leaves are blanks original purple cloth front and spine panels stamped in gold. First edition. The adventures of White Wolf a bull-terrier raised by a wolf in the San Jacinto Mountains. One of 16 novels published that year by the famously prolific Faust. "The animals talk to each other but the story is clearly aimed at adults not children thus placing this in a sub-genre that took shape around the turn-of-the-century and flourished up into the 1920s and beyond with the work of C. G. D. Roberts Jack London Samuel Scoville Jr. and others who brought a naturalistic style as it were to the subject of nature. The animals created by these authors and in the present case Max Brand are neither sentimental nor fabular but are individual "characters" portrayed realistically after careful observation. If the animals are given emotional and reasoning faculties that resemble those of humans this is nothing more than the complement to the main thrust of naturalism which showed the resemblance of humans to animals. The first quarter of the twentieth century finally brought animals into their own as characters in fiction just as the mid- and late-nineteenth century had finally given children the same kind of attention and independence." - Robert Eldridge.

Hardcover. no dust jacket moderate shelfwear some browning/spotting to page edges light bumps and slight fraying to cloth at bottom corners one-time owner's signature in pencil on ffep tiny tear at fore-edge of title page. Crime novel that segues to a Western setting about halfway through hence the Western-motif front-cover decoration of a man on horseback waving a large hat by this prolific pulp novelist one of eleven books he wrote under the Baxter pseudonym between 1923 and 1935. This tells the exploits of "Geraldi dashing knight errant who is a modern Robin Hood who preys only upon those who have preyed upon others." Originally serialized in Western Story Magazine in 1928; later published as by Max Brand as "Three on the Trail" and subsequently in paperback as "Gunman's Goal." The original serial title was probably "Tragedy Trail" although I've not verified this directly; another seller claims it was "Three on the Trail" but that title does not appear among the list of serials credited to Baxter during 1928. .
