Dorothy South: A Love Story of Virginia Just Before the War
Eggleston, George Cary
Love stories; Virginia -- Fiction
This volume resurrects a literary treasure which has been buried for
many years in the forgotten files of a newspaper, and it is, as nearly
as it has been possible to make, an absolutely complete collection of
the hitherto unpublished poems of the gifted author.
These poems are the early product of Field’s genius. They breathe the
spirit of Western life of twenty years ago. The reckless cowboy, the
bucking broncho, the hardy miner, the English tenderfoot, the coquettish
belle, and all the foibles and extravagances of Western social life, are
depicted with a naïveté and satire, tempered with sympathy and pathos,
which no other writer could imitate.
The book contains nearly three hundred pages, including an interesting
and valuable introduction by the editor, and is printed from new type on
fine deckle edge paper, and handsomely bound in cloth, with gilt tops.

THE PILLAR OF LIGHT
“Breathless interest is a hackneyed phrase, but every reader of ‘The
Pillar of Light’ who has red blood in his or her veins, will agree that
the trite saying applies to the attention which this story
commands.”--_New York Sun._
THE WINGS OF THE MORNING
“Here is a story filled with the swing of adventure. There are no
dragging intervals in this volume: from the moment of their landing on
the island until the rescuing crew find them there, there is not a dull
moment for the young people--nor for the reader either.”--_New York
Times._
THE KING OF DIAMONDS
“Verily, Mr. Tracy is a prince of story-tellers. His charm is a little
hard to describe, but it is as definite as that of a rainbow. The reader
is carried along by the robust imagination of the author.”--_San
Francisco Examiner._
