Riassunto

Metta V. Victor's, Alice Wilde: The Raftsman's Daughter, was one of a number of women's books in the dime-novel genre that told a love story against the background of the romantic Wild West. First issued in 1860, this is the story of rich, cultivated Philip More, who loses his fortune--and thus his girl--in New York City and heads west to find himself and seek his fortune anew. There, he meets the charming, but unrefined, daughter of the man who runs the mill where he finds employment--the appropriately named Alice Wilde. What happens to bring the two together over the considerable obstacles that separate them makes for a timeless story.

Informazioni sull?autore

Metta W. Victor was one of Beadle's most faithful writers, composing hundreds of books under her own name and under pen names for the Dime Novel publisher. She was born in Erie, Pennsylvania on March 2, 1831. Her first story, "The Silver Lute" was published in the local newspaper when she was just thirteen years old, and by the time she was fifteen, she had penned more than ten romance stories. Known as one of the most popular and charming wrters of her time, she was also an editor for the Beadle dime novels and wrote poems sketches, and stories for other publishers. The novels she wrote for Beadle were praised by Abraham Lincoln.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Philip Moore has lost his family fortune?and thus his girl?in New York City. Heading west to find riches and win back the object of his affection, Philip finds himself unexpectedly charmed by the unrefined but beautiful daughter of sawmill owner David Wilde. Can Philip and Alice overcome the obstacles?a raging river, brush fires, a tornado, and an attempt on Philip s life by Alice s scorned suitor?that plague their courtship?
Alice Wilde: The Raftsman s Daughter, a classic dime novel by Metta Victor, was first published in 1860 by the extremely popular publishing house of Beadle & Adams. Victor s many fans were delighted by this heart-wrenching story of love and loss?just as suspenseful now as it was in the mid-nineteenth century.
