Dorance: A Novel.
Nelson. Dorance; A Novel. By R. E. Nelson. 12mo, cloth, 75c. (25c).
This first novel by an author as yet unknown to the public will find sympathetic readers among those who still read Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
“Of Virginia blood, but of Northern birth, my earliest sympathies were aroused in behalf of the people of both races of the ‘Sunny Southland,’ and my imagination was made alive by the glowing pictures of Southern life, gleaned from my friends and from books on the subject. If I have succeeded in interesting my young friends in this phase of life, which has now passed into history, the problem of which is still unsolved in a measure, I will have fully accomplished my purpose in writing this book.”—Author’s Preface.
