Mrs. Smith deserves very hearty commendation for the admirable pictures
of Puritan life which are drawn with a skilful hand in this book. She
has chosen a representative Puritan village as the scene, and the
period of very early settlement of western Massachusetts for her story,
a village which retains many of its early features to this day. Mrs.
Smith knows the people of whom she writes thoroughly, and holds them
in high and loving esteem. Even the most prejudiced reader can hardly
close this book without seeing in these genuine Puritan people a phase
of human life at once fine in its courage, its endurance of terrible
hardships, and not unbeautiful in its childlike acceptance of God’s
dealings and its daily hunger and thirst after righteousness.--_The
Churchman._
