A LORD OF LANDS
By Ramsey Benson.
326 pp., 12mo. $1.50.
The unusual and convincing narrative of the experiences of a man of good sense, with wages of $50 a month and five children, following his determination to leave the city and farm it in the Northwest.
“A book of real adventure—an adventure in living. More thrilling than an African jungle story, and not lacking in humor and pathos. Nothing is more wonderful than the way the commonest details contribute to the homely interest, just as long ago we were fascinated by the ‘Swiss Family Robinson.’”—The Independent.
“Does for the humble workingman what ‘The Fat of the Land’ did for the well-to-do. Will appeal instantly and throughout its entire length to the lover of the outdoor life.”—Boston Transcript.
“Unique in literature ... holds many fascinations ... told with the utmost art.”—San Francisco Chronicle.
