A Little Sister to the Wilderness. A Novel. New Edition. 16mo, Cloth,
Ornamental, Uncut Edges and Gilt Top, $1 25.
The story is a pathetic one in many ways, for it portrays so
strongly human lowliness and degradation. The writer is well
acquainted with the life and habits and dialect of the West
Tennessee bottoms, and her story is written from the heart and with
rare sympathy. The lonely dyke roads, the cheerless homes, the
shabby "store," the emotional Methodist meeting, which lasts a
week, having two sessions daily--all these are vividly sketched.
Mag, the heroine, is a well-drawn character. Camden, the hero, is
forceful and earnest. The story is valuable because it shows so
forcefully the peculiar phases of the life and human character of
these people. The writer has a natural and fluent style, and her
dialect has the double excellence of being novel and scanty. The
scenes are picturesque and diversified.--_Churchman_, N. Y.
