Starkweather.. 12 mo., hardcover, front hinge shaky, two pages loose at center from string binding and light edgewear else good in green pictorial boards with white lettering. (revised edition, 281 pp. This was a popular novel not only for it's convential plot of all turning out well (romance, poor orphans becoming wealthy, and the evil ones receiving just punishment with mitigation) , but also for its description of early days in Indiana. The country school is pictured as a constant warfare between master and the big boys (taken from his brother's actual experiences as a school teacher) , the community spelling school, different forms of bigoted and illiterate preaching offered to new settlers, and amusing attempts at formality in the proceedings of the courts.
