Spring was manifest in the vast big-timber country of Mendocino County. "Uncle" Sebastian Burris felt the moist warmth of it oozing from the slowly drying road as he trudged along. The smell of it emanated from the white, pale-yellow, and pink fungi that flourished on the soaked and ancient logs along the way. He heard the voice of it in the soft murmuring of the South Fork of the Eel, which went twinkling down Bear Valley through firs and redwoods straight as telegraph poles; in the caress of the soft south wind soughing in the tree-tops. Chipmunks and gray squirrels darted across his path. A quarter of a mile from Wharton Bixler's store he turned off on a narrow road which led into the deeper forest. He passed through groves of redwoods which towered three hundred feet above him, and whose girth was over sixty feet. A half mile more the old man trudged on sturdily, muttering occasionally to himself. Then he struck a cross trail which paralleled Ripley Creek, and this he followed into the sunshine of an open spot.
Autorenporträt
Arthur Preston Hankins, a seemingly less known yet impactful author from the early 20th century, made a subtle mark on the literary world with his novel 'The She Boss'. This book, which holds a mirror to the socio-economic challenges and gender dynamics of the era, is a telling example of Hankins's narrative prowess and his insightful commentary on societal norms. Although Hankins's literary portfolio may not be extensive, 'The She Boss' showcases his ability to construct compelling characters and engrossing storylines that resonate with readers even today. His prose often navigates the complexities of empowerment and the tension between personal ambition and societal expectations. Despite the scarcity of biographical details on Hankins which tends to shroud his life in mystery, his work speaks volumes about his perspective on the evolving roles of women in the business world and the American society at large during the time of his writing. His literary style, which can be characterized by its sharp characterizations and keen observations of the early 20th-century American life, contributes to the depth and authenticity of 'The She Boss'. Hankins's contribution to literature, though not widely recognized, provides valuable insights into the cultural fabric of his time and continues to offer relevance and inspiration to a modern audience.
