Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Grapple: A Story of the Illinois Coal Region There are two courses open to the writer of today who loves to chronicle a good, rousing fight: he may take to the pages of history and the swashbuckling romance, or he may study the economic warfare of our own day, which has its equivalent for every detail of that earlier strife. The author of "The Grapple" has tried her hand at the writing of historical fiction. In discussing some literary material with a young friend who wished to have her opinion upon it, the story which follows made itself. Mr. Vond Reed, who has been with the army in Porto Rico, and writes military stories, had also served three years with a wing of the big industrial army which fights its war in the coal district of a Middle Western State. Employed in the clerical department, his attention was continually attracted by the humourous, pathetic, and tragic aspects of existence among the men who delve in the dark and cold that others may sit warm in the light.
