Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, Thomas Cole and John Frederick Kensett. Six magazine stories, opening on Christmas Eve at a snowbound railway junction, where an army captain on his way back to a Northwest post is carried off as a chance guest in a millionaire's private car. Marie Conway Oemler wrote them for the Ladies' Home Journal, Harper's Bazar, Ainslie's and the Woman's Home Companion, in the warm, slightly wry manner that made Slippy McGee a best seller, and she knew exactly how much a small place forgives. Fifty-eight plates by Winslow Homer and Albert Bierstadt, among others, carry the wintry American scene that these stories of travel, town and homecoming depend on.
