Summary

“The Preacher of Cedar Mountain” Is a 1917 novel by Ernest Thompson Seton that tells the wonderful story of Jim Hartigan, an extremely good horseman who becomes a preacher to fulfil his mother's dream for him. The majority of the story concerns his various travails and vicissitudes along the road to realising this dream. A masterwork of classic fiction, this volume will appeal to fans of vintage American literature and it is not to be missed by those who have read and enjoyed other works by this author. Ernest Thompson Seton (1860 – 1946) was an English-born Canadian author and wildlife artist who founded the Woodcraft Indians in 1902. He was also among the founding members of the Boy Scouts of America, established in 1910. He wrote profusely on this subject, the most notable of his scouting literature including “The Birch Bark Roll” and the “Boy Scout Handbook”. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
Available since: 08/29/2018.

    This illustrated anthology features the celebrated poet’s complete works for children—with an introduction by his wife, Paula Sandburg. 
 
As a young father of two daughters, Carl Sandburg noticed that children’s literature was still stuck in the traditions of European folklore, centered on princes, princesses and peasants. He wanted to create stories that spoke more directly to American children and their way of life. His first book for children, Rootabaga Stories, explore farms, trains and other typical locales as the clever characters discover the magic of the Midwest. 
 
This volume includes all five of Carl Sandburg’s books for young readers: Rootabaga Stories, Early Moon, Wind Song, Prairie-Town Boy, and Abe Lincoln Grows Up.
