Montague, Margaret Prescott. Sowing of Alderson Cree; with a front. by W. T. Benda. †$1.50. Baker.
7–12272.
Alderson Cree is shot by an enemy and upon his death-bed exacts from his young son the promise to avenge the deed. “His ‘sowing’ is the spirit of revenge and hatred which is thus implanted in the child’s heart, and the reaping comes ten years later, when the boy must choose between revenge and love. The story has in it all the rough strength of the mountain valley where the scene is laid and of the rough mountain people who figure in its pages.” (N. Y. Times.)
“A book of extraordinary sweetness and strength, for in reading one is led along by the sure touch of the writer, who, born and living all her days among the mountain people, knows their lives and touches them with truth and tenderness.” Harriet Prescott Spofford.
