REV. DAVID SWING said:--The books of Marah Ellis Ryan give great
pleasure to all the best class of readers. "A Pagan of the Alleghanies"
is one of her best works; but all she writes is high and pure. Her
words are all true to nature, and, with her, nature is a great theme.
ROBERT G. INGERSOLL says:--Your description of scenery and seasons--of
the capture of the mountains by spring--of tree and fern, of laurel,
cloud and mist, and the woods of the forest, are true, poetic, and
beautiful. To say the least, the pagan saw and appreciated many of the
difficulties and contradictions that grow out of and belong to creeds.
He saw how hard it is to harmonize what we see and know with the idea
that over all is infinite power and goodness * * * the divine spark
called Genius is in your brain.
