Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Prayer Cure in the Pines and Other Verses
American life presents no more unique or picturesque characters than the woodsmen of the northern pineries. Rough in speech and manner, equally ready for a fight or a frolic, reckless even to lawlessness, they are, nevertheless, as a rule, hearty, whole-souled fellows, loyal in their friendships, and possessed of brave and generous impulses. A residence of several years in northern Michigan brought me in frequent con tact with these sturdy knights of the axe and the peevy, as well as with the rugged pioneer farmers of that country, whose efforts are fast converting dreary deserts of blackened stumps into fair and fertile fields. I leave those who are familiar with the scenes among which these verses were written to judge whether I have succeeded in imparting to them any ?avor of life among.
