Description
SARAH ORNE JEWETT
(1849 - 1909) Best known for her novel A Country Doctor, Jewett's work features the themes she was most familiar with -- the inhabitants of Maine, of the everyday world of villages and ordinary people. Rare A.Q.S. "Sarah Orne Jewett", 1p. 8vo. [n.p., n.d.], a 14-line excerpt from her short story "Decoration Day". In part: "The fife and drum struck up gallantly together, and the little procession moved away slowly along the country road. It gave an unwanted touch of color to the landscape - the scarlet, the blue, between the new-plowed fields and budding roadside thickets...Such processions grow more pathetic year by year: it will not be so long now before wondering children have seen the last...". Very good. "Decoration Day" was published in Harper's, May 1892.
