Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - With few exceptions, the incidents recorded in these pages take place in one of the largest cities of the United States of America, and of that portion called the Middle West, - a city once conservative and provincial, and rather proud of these qualities; but now outgrown them, and linked by lightning limited trains to other teeming centers of the modern world: a city overtaken, in recent years, by the plague which has swept our country from the Atlantic to the Pacific - Prosperity. Before its advent, the Goodriches and Gores, the Warings, the Prestons and the Atterburys lived leisurely lives in a sleepy quarter of shade trees and spacious yards and muddy macadam streets, now passed away forever. Existence was decorous, marriage an irrevocable step, wives were wives, and the Authorized Version of the Bible was true from cover to cover. So Dr. Gilman preached, and so they believed.

Autor

Winston Churchill was an American novelist born on November 10, 1871, in St. Louis, Missouri. He is known for being a best-selling writer during the early 20th century, though he is often overshadowed by the famous British statesman of the same name, to whom he was not related. Churchill attended the Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School before enrolling in the United States Naval Academy, where he received his education. Over the course of his writing career, he became well-regarded for his novels, which often explored social, political, and historical themes. His works captured the attention of readers with their engaging plots and deep character development. Churchill spent his later years in Winter Park, Florida, where he passed away on March 12, 1947, at the age of 75. Though he is not as widely remembered today as other authors of his time, his contributions to American literature were significant, and his novels enjoyed considerable popularity during his lifetime. His exploration of human struggles within societal structures continues to offer insight into the social and cultural landscapes of his era.
