Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers.

Autorenporträt

Mary Hartwell Catherwood (1847-1902) was an American author of literary fiction, recognized for her historical romances that vividly capture the early pioneer life of the Midwest and the French and Native American cultural intersection. Born in Luray, Ohio, Catherwood was a dedicated writer from a young age, contributing to family income through her literary endeavors. She attended and later taught at the Granville Female College in Ohio, broadening her literary and pedagogical horizons. Catherwood's narratives often interweave factual historical events with regional folklore, offering readers a tapestry of the past speckled with the spectral charm of the frontier days. 'The Story of Tonty,' one of her noteworthy works, illuminates the life and adventures of Henri de Tonti, an Italian explorer and associate of La Salle in the exploration of the Great Lakes region. Catherwood's skillful depictions in the novel resonate the breadth of her historical knowledge and keen insights into human character. Her prose, vibrant with authenticity and detail, sheds light on the lesser-known corridors of American History, making her contributions to the literary canon both educative and entertaining. Through a prolific career that included novels, short stories, and children's literature, Catherwood emerged as a significant figure in the panorama of late 19th-century American letters.
