The wilderness had been chopped and burned backward out of ... Read more

  • The Eve of the Fourth

    by Harold Frederic ...
    It was well on toward evening before this Third of July all at once made itself gloriously different from other days in my mind.

  • The Copperhead

    by Harold Frederic ...
    It was on the night of my thirteenth birthday, I know, that the old farm-house was burned over our heads.

  • Mrs Albert Grundy: Observations in Philistia

    by Harold Frederic ...
    I suppose about the name there is no doubt. For sixty years we have followed that gifted gadabout and gossip, Heine, and called it Philistia. And yet, when one thinks of it, there may have been a mistake after all. Artemus Ward used to say that he had been able, with effort, to comprehend how it was possible to measure the distance between the stars, and even the dimensions and candle-power, so to ...
