Cleveland Plain Dealer
The main points of interest at the Exposition are discussed and moralized over in her inimitable way by Samantha.
The Outlook
Samantha at the St. Louis Exposition, by Josiah Allen’s wife, is a revival of what was perhaps one of the most popular humorous series ever issued. The present volume contains the same pathos and shrewd rustic sense with all the humor of her previous works.

She has sampled the glories of the St. Louis Fair and described them in language of enduring worth.
Boston Advertiser
A story full of the mixture of wit, pathos, eloquence and common sense.
New York Globe
Very unlike her earlier books in appearance. It has a smart up-to-date binding and striking modern illustrations by Grunwald. But Miss Holley’s part is perfectly natural and familiar. It has lost none of its mirth, none of its common sense, none of its good clear-eyed religious way of looking at things. It is faithful to the spirit of a great deal that is best in American life.
