Book Description
Excerpt from The Mystery of Metropolisville A novel should be the truest of books. It partakes in a certain sense of the nature of both history and art. It needs to be true to human nature in its permanent and essential qualities, and it should truthfully represent some specific and temporary manifestation of human nature: that is, some form of society. It has been objected that I have Oopied life too closely, but it seems to me that the work to be done just now, is to represent the forms and spirit of our own life, and thus free ourselves from habitual imitation of that Which is foreign. I have Wished to make my stories of value as a con tribution to the history Of civilization in America. If it be urged that this is not the highest function, I reply that it is just now the most necessary function of this kind of literature. Of the value of these stories as works of art, others must judge; but I shall have the satisfaction of knowing that I have at least rendered one substantial though humble service to our literature, if I have portrayed correctly certain forms of.

Book Description
Edward Eggleston (December 10, 1837 - September 3, 1902) was an American historian and novelist.*Biography*Eggleston was born in Vevay, Indiana, to Joseph Cary Eggleston and Mary Jane Craig. The author George Cary Eggleston was his brother. As a child, he was too ill to regularly attend school, so his education was primarily provided by his father. He was ordained as a Methodist minister in 1856.He wrote a number of tales, some of which, especially the "Hoosier" series, attracted much attention. Among these are The Hoosier Schoolmaster, The Hoosier Schoolboy, The End of the World, The Faith Doctor, and Queer Stories for Boys and Girls.His boyhood home at Vevay, known as the Edward and George Cary Eggleston House, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. His summer home, Owl's Nest, in Lake George, New York, eventually became his year-round home.Eggleston died there in 1902, at the age of 64.Owl's Nest was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1971. Frank Beard, United States (1842-1905), was illustrator, caricaturist and cartoonist. He was the principal illustrator for The Ram's Horn, an interdenominational social gospel magazine. The Ram's Horn was published in Chicago, Illinois during the 1890s and the early years of the twentieth century by Frederick L. Chapman & Company.Beard had an active career as an illustrator. His cartoons appeared in Judge, and he illustrated books. In his work, Beard also used sequential art, such as in 'Puck on the Road' from 1889. Beard also originated the popular "chalk talk" public lecture, standing on the platform with a roll of paper stretched on an easel before him. With a half-dozen colored crayons in his hand, he transported his audiences with him while drawing pictures illustrating the content of his lecture. Beard drew both single panel cartoons and sequential comics, and also created illustrations for Comic Monthly, Judge and a sister publication of The Ram's Horn, Our Day.
