1900 Eben Holden By Irving Batcheller

Eben Holden: A Tale of the North Country is a highly successful historical novel written by American author and journalist Irving Bacheller, originally published on July 2, 1900, by the Lothrop Publishing Company.   Plot Overview:  The Journey: The story follows Willie Brower, an orphan from northern Vermont. To save him from a corrupt uncle and an orphanage, a kindly, wise old hired hand named Eben Holden (Uncle Eb) takes him away. The Setting: They travel westward across Lake Champlain and settle down in the rugged, picturesque Adirondack wilderness and St. Lawrence Valley of upstate New York. Coming of Age: The book highlights Willie's upbringing under Eben's gentle guidance and moral storytelling. As Willie grows up, the narrative transitions to his college years, his courtship of his childhood sweetheart, Hope Brower, his career as a New York City journalist, and his eventual service in the American Civil War, including a dramatic sequence at the Battle of Bull Run.  This is in fair condition. It has obvious signs of age and wear associated with a book being over a hundred years old. Discoloration, loose spines, name inscribed.
