Winter, Alice. Prize to the hardy. $1.50. Bobbs.
Mrs. Winter’s story of early Minnesota days is built up around a successful financial magnate of a typical western town, his daughter, in whose veins flows a trace of the blood of Indian chiefs,—a very modern, very feminine, very human specimen of lovable young womanhood, a young Maineite who demonstrates his fitness to be called the “hardy,” and his rival, the near approach to a contemptible villain. There are close range views of the typical Swede farmer, dips into the hardships to be endured in the small Dakota towns, and a thrilling picture of a forest fire’s devastation. The local coloring thruout is consistent and characteristic.
“Told in a spirited manner. It is a story that will appeal to the general reader in search of a pleasing and somewhat exciting love-tale.”
