IN EXPLANATION^
What is Northwest Books?
This is the second edition of Northwest Books. As it first appeared in
1933 it was a mimeographed booklet of some seventy pages, sponsored
by the Inland Empire Council of Teachers of English under the general
direction of Dr. H. G. Merriam, head of the English Department, Mon
tana State University. The encouraging reception accorded this brief
bibliography and the requests for an extensive revision account for the
present work, which, owing to many additions, constitutes practically a
new collection. To the summaries in the former edition, many new ones
have been added, in many cases two or more for each book; also the
material has been brought down to 1941, with selected magazine lists
and other new features.
Why is a second edition advisable?
The Pacific Northwest is becoming conscious not only of its resources
in minerals, oil, wheat, and water power, but of its literary products.
Each of the four states represented has its own small but active group of
writers, some of whom have already won national recognition. In 1935
H. L. Davis's Honey in the Horn won the Harper prize for fiction; in
*939 Vardis Fisher's Children of God received similar recognition; in
1940 Mrs. Riasanovsky's (Nina Federova) Family was declared winner
of the Atlantic Monthly prize. Surely a fine record. Contributors like
Ernest Haycox or Ethel Romig Fuller (to mention only two) are
known to an increasing number of magazine readers. To stimulate such
appreciation Northwest Books stands dedicated. But one must be on
guard against easy optimism. A large proportion of Northwest writing
continues to remain on the level of pulp magazines. The home-boy-
makes-good attitude still blinds many to genuine literary values. A liter
ary product should be commended only to the degree that its quality
warrants; otherwise regionalism sinks to the level of sectionalism. Our
critic readers have been asked to keep this fact in mind when evaluating '
books.
What is the scope of Northwest Books?
This edition is chiefly a reference volume of Northwest authors, not
necessarily of Northwest writing. The single exception to this statement
is the selected list of books about the Northwest. Such restriction should
mean something to Northwest publishers as well as to Northwest
authors. Then, too, Northwest Books is chiefly a literary bibliography.
Text books and those specializing in non-literary fields are, for the most
part, excluded.
How was Northwest Books prepared?
The general editor chose four state chairmen, who, in turn, selected four
groups of critic readers, numbering from fifteen to forty-eight members.
These reviewers not only represented diverse interests, such as teaching,
3,* I'^O .':' APR 101950
,>i|t, resided in diverse localities. Each reviewei
* was asted to : reatf seVeriFKocSks and send in brief summaries, with recom
mendations er dijf erent levels of reading interest. After checking these
reports, the i$i4chairman sent on this mass of material to the genera
editor, whose* duty* it was to arrange it for publication. The state chair
men were likewise responsible for the additional book and library list
indicated in the table of contents.
What should the reader keep in mind?
This is a collaborative effort and, as such, is certain to be uneven ir
quality. Books will be left out which perhaps should have been included
others included which, doubtless, should have been passed by. The editor
in consequence, welcomes suggestions looking toward future improve
ments. For he hopes that in a few years a third edition may be called for
This whole project is a labor of love on the part of a few enthusiast
who believe in the Northwest and in the value of its literary products
In a reference of this nature, where much of the typing and collatini
must be left to N.Y.A. students, numerous errors creep in. It is, how
ever, hoped that their count has been kept down to a reasonable number
In the contributions of Oregon and Washington, omissions will be espe
dally noticeable. These two states are the most productive in the North
west, and a complete representation of their literary work has at thi:
time been impossible.
Whom should the editor thank?
This is the most pleasant duty of the whole project and yet one of th<
most difficult, since there are more than a hundred individuals conoerne<
directly or indirectly with Northwest Books. Bulking largely is a con
siderable group of publishers who have been most considerate in thei
gift or loan of books for review purposes. Among this list are the regiona
publishers, The C ax ton Printers of Caldwell, Idaho, and Bin fords am
Mori of Portland, Oregon.
The state chairmen (identified in a following list) come next in re
ward of merit. All have been splendidly cooperative, spending generousl;
from their own purses in the purchase of incidentals, and, in addition,
what is far more important giving abundantly of time and energy*
A similar word of thanks goes to the many critic readers some o
whom, in an effort to hasten this project, have reviewed far and abov
their quota of books. Special recognition also goes to Miss Kathleei
Campbell, Montana State University librarian, who has furnished book
for the critic readers, and to Miss Katherine White, reference librarian
who has given unstintingly of her time in checking lists and making valu
able suggestions. Mrs. Vande Bogart of Havre and Mr. Alexande
Leggat of Butte have likewise offered timely help. Dr. Merriam has ii
numerous ways sought to lighten the load of work both by helpful conn
sel and by granting to the editor as much free time as he could from
heavily crowded schedule. RUFUS A. COLEMAN.
NOTES
1. In the book summaries after the author's name appear his state and whether
he belongs to that state by birth, former residence, or present residence. Then
follow the title of the book, the name of the publisher, and the date of first
publication. In some instances, where the death of the author is substantiated,
the word "deceased" appears after the name.
2. A book that is not recommended generally carries its lack of recommendation
in the unfavorable criticism; a book that is recommended carries a definite
statement. Recommendation is designated by "rec". Other abbreviations are
generally self-explanatory, such as "Jr. H." for junior high school; "Sr. H."
for senior high school; "Jr. C." for junior college; "Sr. C." for senior college;
"Gen. R." for general reader and "Sp. R." for special reader. Cross references
are indicated when two or more authors or editors are responsible for a book.
3. The comment reveals whether or not the book is one of essays, verse, fiction,
or drama.
4. In the list of titles grouped according to locale only those books which empha
size setting or which give some information about locality are included. Some
of these books are historical in nature, presenting a locale which, though no
longer existing, carries with it both an interest and a historical value.
5. The selected author-title list of representative magazine contribution is in
tended merely as a tentative effort. The prefatory note heading the list indi
cates its purpose sufficiently.
6. The list of public and private libraries is another new feature, which should
be extended if a later edition of Northwest Books is ever called for. This is
especially true regarding private libraries. In many instances owners were too;
modest. Some did not reply to our letter of inquiry. Additional names with
descriptions of the owners' libraries should be sent to the editor.

Comment: i. We Pointed Them North is a vivid portrayal of the Montana of
limitless ranges, of cattleman and cowboy. The book is valuable for the very
real picture it gives of early days in Montana. Miss Smith has given us the
story in Teddy Blue's own colorful language.
2. Good, salty memoirs of "Teddy Blue" Abbott in the central Montana
cattle country from 1884 to 1939. He trailed herds of Texas cattle up from
San Antonio early. Illustrations by Ross Santee, and some photographs.
3. Abbott told his story to Helena Huntington Smith, who recorded it
in his own words. There is no better account of cowboy life, but it is too
frank for use in schools, although colleges should have copies of it.
4. About cattle in early Montana and bringing them up from Texas,
also about early stock associations, Granville Stewart and his family. Remi
niscences mostly, told with sincerity. Seems absolutely genuine nothing in it
that does not ring true.

Comment: i. Written primarily to interest students and adults in the history
of the state of Montana, this book gives the reader a view of Montana from
its early beginnings down to the present time. Its information is authentic.
Many illustrations.
2. A history of Montana designed for use in the schools, from the sev
enth grade up, supplied with maps and effective illustrations, and with ques
tions for thought and study and projects and problems. A valuable book for
the family library.

Comment: i. Americans living on a lonely, rough fox island. The heroine
slides down a cliff. The hero rescues her. Then hires himself to her family,
but is capable of going away from whatever he should be doing, and make
whatever he does make sense. The island of the Red God is near. He visits
it and gets what he went to Alaska for and gets away just before the island
is destroyed by an earthquake. Geography, science, pirates help make an inter
esting story.
2. A story of the lives of people who inhabit the island west of Alaska
and try to operate four farms. It is well written. Has suspense, animation,
probability. It also gives something of the mysterious, the intangible that
seems to surround Alaska.
NORTHWEST BOOKS
ADAMS, LET A 2OE (Washington; pr. res.) :
Mirror Murder; Phoenix Press (New York), 1937
Rec. Sr. H. 10, ii, 12
Gen. R. Men, Women
Comment: An interesting mystery story of the murder variety. It is well written,
has plenty of suspense until the very end. Characters are well drawn, plot
worked out in excellent fashion, and story moves along in smooth well-de
signed cadences.
ALEXANDER, CHARLES (Oregon; fr. res.):
Robbie, A Great Collie; Dodd, Mead and Co., 1926
Rec. Jr. 7, 8, 9
Comment: An imaginative, but conservative, reconstruction of a marvelous hom
ing feat performed by a lost dog who made his way three thousand miles
to find his master. Clearly written and worth reading, though without good
style.
ALEXANDER, CHARLES (Oregon; fr. res.):
The Fang in the Forest; Dodd, Mead and Co., 1923
Rec. Jr. H. 7, 8, 9
Comment: The story of a huge dog that went atavistic, becoming wolf, in the
Yachats Country of Oregon. Conflict and animal savagery in the forest, re
lieved by the wolf-dog's innate love for, and faithfulness to, any man who
will give him a ghost of a chance.
ALEXANDER, CHARLES (Oregon; fr. res.):
The Splendid Summits; Dodd, Mead and Co., 1925
Rec. No
Jr. C. Fr. Soph.
Sr. C. Jr. Sen. Gr.
Comment: i. Adventure in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon. The incidents
and characters are so false that the book has only the value of very light
entertainment. The prose is somewhat brittle and unpleasant.
2. While this book is in the so-called popular class, the characterization
is distinctive and well above the average, and the style is a uniquely cultured
medium. As a story, it hardly achieves its possibilities. Deserves attention.

Gen. R. Men, Women
Comment: i. The subject matter is the journey to, the industries in, and the
interrelations among the countries bordering the North Pacific Rim* The
problems are stated as the author sees them, on one trip around. The book
should help preserve peace. It is good narrative with excellent pictures,
2. A thread of narrative binds these thirty-five chapters together, but
their primary purposes are descriptive, political economics. Mr. Allen writes
very entertainingly; his view-point is very critical, and he offers many
constructive suggestions. He has had abundant opportunities to know Alaska
first hand.
ALLEN, ELEANOR (Oregon; pr. res.):

Rec. Jr. H. 7, 8, 9
Sr. H. 10, ii, 12
Jr. C. Fr. Soph.
Sr. C. Jr. Sen. Gr.
Gen. R. Men, Women
Comment: i. Lyrics of faith in the bravery of youth, in seeds that, may
NORTHWEST BOOKS 17
grow into "gray birch trees that sway against the rough kiss of the winds"
or jostle "one another in the warm, deep soil." Here is a poignant sense of
beauty to be found in the joy of living and in the sensuous charm of its
symbols and features, as presented by a poet of fine perception and gifted
expression. Among the poems the following are especially memorable:
"October Hymn", "Landscape", "Night", "Springtime" (series of four son
nets), and "The Little Pool".
2. This is a collection of verse treating largely of nature themes that are
handled objectively and written in the freer forms. A number of songs in
traditional patterns, over which the poet has a better command both emo
tionally and rhythmically, are also included. The imagery is not striking
nor always direct, yet the verse though slight has a certain vitality, sim
plicity and sincerity that lift it above mediocrity. The poet expresses an
eager awareness of the world of sense and a strong realization of beauty
brightly if not significantly. The poetry is colorful, lyrical and joyous and
should appeal to young readers.
^ 3. Eleanor Allen is a gifted and different sort of poet. Seeds of Earth,
like her own reflected personality, has distinguished freshness upon it cleanly
sprung from delicate and elusive springs that are also deeply fired and as
natural in lyrical utterance as shadow that speaks wistfully to bright winds.
Miss Allen's is unique and sincere song.

Comment: i. This seemed to be a Mormon treatise and as such was too
deep for me. I feel incompetent to probe God's plans and question others*
authority to do the same. The book was abtruse and dull.
2. A book on Mormonism sincerely putting forth what the author really
believes through teachings of the Mormon religion and teachings of Joseph
Smith written by a man with plural wives. Imagine Mormons are only ones
who will read and believe.

Jr. C. Fr. Soph.
Sr. C. Jr. Sen. Gr.
Comment: Setting, Puget Sound forest country. Atmosphere and color of the
region well achieved, and for this reason of some value for persons of this
locality. Story fairly interesting, but not strong. Treatment of characters
amateurish.
ANDERSON, ADA WOODRUFF (Washington; pr. res.):
Rim .of the Desert; Little, Brown and Co., 1915
Rec. Jr. C. Fr. Soph.
Sr. C. Jr. Sen. Gr.
Comment: Setting is desert lands of Columbia River basin, Washington, and
Puget Sound. Metropolitan atmosphere of Seattle sadly exaggerated for that
period. Characterizations lack distinction. Plot mediocre. Value lies entirely
in vivid reproduction of the local scene.
ANDERSON, ADA WOODRUFF (Washington; pr. res.):
The Strain of White; Little, Brown and Co., 1909
Rec. Jr. H. 7, 8, 9
Comment: A romantic novel portraying the struggle of an unusually attractive
and intelligent half -breed ^ Indian (Yakima) girl experienced in her attempt
to follow her inherent desire to be white, and yet remain loyal to her Indian
ancestry. The reader learns not only how she courageously faced life, and
how unfair the whites were in their treatment of the Indians and how
NORTHWEST BOOKS
treacherous they were, but also it contains much of interest concerning his
torical persons, places and events and a good picture of conditions in the
Pacific Northwest in the fifties.
ANDERSON, C. ABRAHAM (Idaho; deceased):
Trails of Early Idaho; The Caxton Printers, Ltd., 1940
Rec. Jr. C. Fr. Soph.
Sr. C. Jr. Sen. Gr.
Gen. R. Men, Women
Comment: i. Written from material supplied by the veteran himself before
his death. In the life of George W, Goodhart, who came to the Boise Valley
in 1860, is to be found the very earliest history of the white man's experience
in what was then the unorganized territory of the old Oregon Country.
2. On the basis of talks with Mr. Anderson before his death, I should
expect that this book would be principally useful as a document and as
source material. It will probably contain, also, considerable historical com
mentary, for which the author had only modest qualifications.
ANDERSON, EVA GREENSLIT (Washington; pr. res.):
A Child's Story of Washington; The University Publishing Co.,

Rec. Grades i, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Jr. H. 7,8,9
Comment; i. Stories from the history of the State of Washington, tpld very
briefly, sketchily. There are a few inaccuracies and several statements are
misleading. The style is adequate but not appealing to children. The illustra
tions have good ideas, but the ideas are not always effectively "put over."
2. An excellent child's history of basic facts concerning the earliest and
latest periods of the state. Simply written, has a definite appeal to children.
ANDERSON, EVA GREENSLIT (Washington; pr. res.):

Rec. Sr. T. n, 12
Jr. C. Fr. Soph.
Sr. C. Jr. Sen. Gr.
Gen. R. Men, Women
Comment: i. An interesting account of the actual experiences of Dr. Romig,
for a long time a missionary physician near the Yukon River Valley. The
material taken from reliable sources presents a series of incidents rather
than a long connected story. Much valuable authentic information on life on
the frozen tundra is given here.
2. Interestingly written, valuable picture of primitive life. Dr. Joseph
Rornig, a medical missionary, becomes a "Yung-cha-wista," "great spirit" to
the natives. So much is well told in these three hundred pages that most
readers want to know more about the "most widely known man in Alaska,"
3. This life-story, made from Dr. Romig's diaries, is extremely well
written, with many thrills and much good humor. This missionary doctor
represents the best that the white race has done for the natives of Alaska.

Comment: i. The historical story of Nantucket from first to last is faith
fully set down. Most interesting is the personal story of Peter Folger, Benja
min Franklin's grandfather, who set the pace on Nantucket and was gen*
erally as great a man as was his grandson.
2. A detailed, historical, documental account of the settling of Nan-
NORTHWEST BOOKS 19
tucket in early colonial days, and of the life of Peter Folger, who was
Benjamin Franklin's maternal grandfather. Chiefly for the historically-
minded who are interested in the history of Nantucket or the neighboring
colonies in the lyth century.

Gen. R. Men. Women Sp. R.
Comment: The true story of Seth Pinkham, a Nantucket whaling captain
in the first half of the nineteenth century. It is a documented period-study,
nostalgic and sentimental, in a style restrained and not without charm. It
has a delicate flavor of cultured New England, not of blood and thunder on
the quarterdeck.

Comment: i. The style is not particularly literary. The material is of prac
tical use and human interest. The glimpse into this part of our country is
revealing and refreshing.
2. The subject is the Eskimo of Northwest Alaska reindeer breeding
there. We have a clear idea of the nature an dthe needs of the people, what
friendly humans they are, what problems they have and how they solve them.
Carefully compiled. The student of composition can get fine points on de
veloping a topic, and beginning and ending a paragraph. Pictures fine.
Vocabulary picturesque.

Comment: i. This is an excellent history of Alaska from its discovery to
the present It is of the story-textbook variety. It is excellently written by

Comment: x. The author relates his experiences as an American aviator in
France, telling of his capture, life in German prisons, and the Armistice.
He presents a vivid portrayal of war in the air and shows the patriotic
courage of the flier as well as the degradation of war and the feeling of
futility when peace comes.
a. Having flown in the first American aviation group in France, this
World War lieutenant tells of his thrilling yet horror-filled experiences in
the Air Corps. Of questionable literary value, the book is lifted from medi
ocrity by its pulse-stirring situations and fast-moving narrative.

supply drafts and weaving instructions of her own to make available these
beautiful, original patterns a priceless contribution to weaving.
2. A careful piece of research work in which the author took a group
of pictures and drawings from the Pennsylvania Museum and made them
usable to modern weavers. The original drawings were the work of John

Comment: i. This is a modern novel dealing with the age-old problem of
the artistic temperament and its inability to cope with the realities of life;
however, the treatment of this problem is extremely interesting. Told in a
casual manner, much like ordinary conversation, sophisticated, off-hand.
Centers around a fictitious world-famous trumpeter.
2. The story deals with the life and death of a young American swing
band trumpeter, Rick Martin, who thought good jazz was the beginning
and end of everything. Rick learned to play the piano in a Salvation Army
room and later earned enough money for a trumpet by working in a bowling
alley. His marriage was a failure and he turned to drink with tragic re
sults. Readers interested in music will especially enjoy this book.
3. A. H. M. fellowship novel; erstwhile best-seller. Based loosely on the
life of Bix Beiderbeck. A good, moving story of the rise and sudden and
early fall of a hot trumpet man. Good on the psychology of the swing musi
cian. Rick was an artist in his obscure soul, and was recognized as such by
the inner circle of hot players.

Comment: i. Verse full of beautiful images but abstruse in meaning, and
difficult.
2. The work of the author is delicately correct as to poetic form. Possibly
open to criticism on the ground that its imagery is lacking utterly in im
portance, aesthetical or spiritual. I find it an almost incredible performance
coming from a Montanan devoid of the grand sweep one associates with
this area, but a dainty little piece of bric-a-brac in its chosen field.
3. Stimulating, sincere lyrics, some less well executed than others. All
musical. Word pictures clear as in a mirror. A sort of fourth dimension
effect in the ideas and feelings evoked. Good form. Poetic representation
based on keen analysis of emotional experiences the thoughtful reader will
recognize.
4. Highly pictorial verse of many things. Nature is one inspiration that
is deeply responded to. There is a lot of color, imagery in her sensitive
reactions; some are rather obscure because of this. But mostly beautiful,
light little poems.

Comment: Author is a student of Greek; many poems modeled on Greek
forms; some are translations. Severity, restraint, and fidelity of phrasing
mark these lyrics, which deal with the sea, Greek memories, Greek transla
tions, "the Fourth Dimension," and occasional pieces. Not all are thought

2. Shawneen, a little Irish boy, wanted a bugle more than any other

illustrations help to give it the humor, suspense, magic, and other lasting
qualities characteristic of an Irish folk tale.

2. The novel deals with the journey of one wagon train to the Pacific

moral behavior. In spite of these things, however, I believe it is worthwhile
at least for adults. Also deals largely with World War conditions, especially
in Russia.
3. Two brothers reared on Puget Sound in a pioneer environment, enter
the World War in Siberia. One is killed; the other returns to find himself
labeled a Communist, because he finds little to condemn in Russian peasants.
Vivid pictures of early pioneers and of experiences of American soldiers
among war-crazed peoples in Russian Siberia during the World War.

Comment: i. Through the compassionate eyes of Ben, the fireman, the
reader learns to know the nine men of the lightship crew who "during long
monotonous hours little by little reveal something of their past histories and
their views on philosophy and religion, women and love." An intensely
human book, unforgettable in its presentation of this motley crew, common
place, heroic, laughable and tragic. Locale, Northwest Washington.
2. Although called a novel by the publishers, this is rather a collection
of related experiences and sketches that can roughly be called stories. Most
chapters deal with rough life, authentic but often coarse. The style is con
vincing, sometimes deeply so. There are moments of striking contrast. Locale,

Comment: i. Mighty Mountain is a vivid presentation of the turmoil of our
only Indian war period, 1855-57. The author is at his best creatively, but
many will wish^that he had possessed a more authentic historical basis. The
characters are vivid ; the action is strong. The story is realistic ; the handling
of nature is rather romantic.
2. Authentic story of 1854, true to locale and people. The writer favors
the "Meeker" side in the local Indian controversy; criticizes Stevens for
treating with the Blackfeet in spite of the fact that their hostilities kept the
Flatheads and Nez Perce out of winter meat. His beautiful chapter on the
Land Office is a complete vignette, like his "Backwater Voyage" and the trip
through the Bering Sea as set down in The Laurels. Locale: Upper Puget

3. One of the few pieces of soundly written and carefully documented
Idaho local history available. The Boise Basin is treated from the earliest
times to the present, but the richest detail is provided for the period 1860-
1890, treating of the mining days, the early settlement, and the coming of
the railroad. Boise is given major attention, but there are sizable sketches of
Caldwell, Nampa, and neighboring villages. The treatment is rich in human

3. An American born Norwegian girl goes to Norway to assuage a

Comment: A series of entertaining sketches on various phases of paleontology,
some of which appeared originally in well-known magazines. A few chapter
headings indicated the trend of discussion. "Children of the sun," "A Ghost

book won the science book of the month award for 1930. The author, for

2. This book is a rare combination of popularized scientific writing and
sound scholarship. Opening with a few chapters on the origin and structure
of the earth, the author then parades before us the long procession of living
forms from the earliest known remains of life to man himself. He likens this
to a dramatic spectacle in which man is not so important as his egoism might
indicate, but must recognize the fundamental truth of ". . . the kinship
of all who walk in the flesh ..." A most readable and stimulating book,

Comment: i. Beginning with the story of the historical background of the

from the sentimental to the absurd. This last is done with good under
standing and discrimination.
2. An inclusive review of the literature, good and bad, that uses the
cowboy, his background, or his way of living, as central material. Branch\s

Comment: i. The Sentimental Years is an excellent history and criticism of
the domestic, cultural, and business world of 1836-1860. Its description of
the people, their life, attitudes, and art of living clarifies and gives sig
nificance to a heretofore rather dull and neglected period of our history.
2. History of American middle class in the twenty-five years preceding
Civil War, their progress in literature, fine arts, religion, inventions, politics,
.science, benevolent associations, education, and slavery. Very well written
shows endless use of source material dealing with these years, 1836-1860.
Makes readily available much information otherwise impossible for general
reader.

the pioneer because it stresses the importance of the man in the westward
movement. Vigorous style and enthusiasm of the author make this new kind

2. The story of the westward movement of the American people from
the Atlantic coast to the Pacific. An ambitious, substantial account of the
frontier, as it rolled across the continent. Full of brilliant detail, and offering
more generalization than Branch's earlier work. Contains maps, a section of
notes, and an index.
3. This book begins with the early days of the colonies and brings it
down to the disappearance of the last frontier at the end of the last century.
Too much cannot be said in its praise. It is a human story based on the
best sources of historical facts, full of adventure, hardihood and courage,
interesting wood cuts and maps. Many notes.

pilot for a large airplane factory in Seattle. The story has all the excite

appealing to boys. It is very well written, and the technical information
given is apparently authentic.
2. The up-to-the-minute consideration of an absorbing industry (airplane
manufacturing) makes this an absorbing story for young readers. The
English is appropriate to the purpose. Characterization is not strong, and the
plot doesn't develop sufficient opposition for such a lucky hero to overcome.

of Stan Parker, a young student in chemical engineering who discovers that
he has fire-fighting blood and becomes a "rookie." The story is well de

Dora, mouse-like, repressed, conventional, finds outlet eventually in social
service; Florence, flamboyant, undisciplined, uninhibited, fulfills her urges
in sexual conquest. While there are melodrama and over-simplification here,
there are likewise considerable power and insight, and, as is to be expected
from Mr. Brinig, continuous excitement. For adults and adult-minded only.

struggling for existence in Silver Bow, Montana. Rebecca and Moses Singer

producing a vivid story of their varying desires, ambitions, and degrees of
adjustment to a new, raw, growing, western community. The author's prose
is lucid and often poetic in expression.
2. Fictionized story of the collateral relatives of the author, involving the
fortunes of an immigrant Jew and his children, through the second genera

3. A magnificent book for those who want humanity, depicting Butte

2. Marriage experiences of three sisters who win wealth. Older residents
of Butte readily identify the setting and, perhaps, the people depicted. Some
good contrasts. Some good and more poor statements. No real depth of char

2. A story of many characters (not deeply developed) interrelated only

Rodney possesses a magnificent voice which he uses for advertising wares

porarily to regain it later, however, in a moment of great emotion. John's
wife is Zola, a girl from "down the line." Their life is tempestuous, ending
in tragedy for the girl. Brinig hates hypocrisy and meanness. In consequence,
some of his characterizations are caricatures, especially so in the case of
Angelina, Rodney's daughter, and Oswald, her miserly husband. Interesting
but not so well done as Sin#ermann,

Comment: i. Abounding in echoes of Crapsey, Doolittle, and Dickinson,
Fallen Petals is a collection of verse on many subjects from the title poem
to "A Symphony in Steel," which praises the locomotive! Miss Burgess has
a light handling of meter, interesting imagery, and often delicate music.
The work is uneven, but with definite varieties of verse.
2. There is apparent in several of the verses in this volume a certain
traditionalism that reflects, though sincerely and attractively, the classroom's
rather than personal food of thought, and this point of view occasionally
conventionalizes feeling and ideas; also youth in the poems claims its right
to ideas that haunt yet are not individually distinctive; but such poems as
"Impression," "Twilight," "Fantasy," "Contribution," "The Wind is a
Witch," and "These Shall Remain" show so much of markedly fine quality
and lyrical beauty that one hails in this author a sensitive poet of sincere

of "Mad-Yank." Some of the descriptions of the loathsome customs of the
natives are revolting.
z. A tale of terror and excitement which takes place on a Malay rubber
plantation where the author spent several years as manager. He describes

Comment: i. Chanting voyageurs and their singing paddles fascinated the
Blair children, who had come from Kentucky to the Oregon territory. Set

River with its never-ending passage of Indian paddlers, sounding their eerie
"ki-yi-yi-yi" as they slipped along the shore line,

Comment: i. Poems on soldiers in the World War trenches and all of life
that that implies. On the other hand, the author uses the opposite theme of
peace and the pursuits and the charms life gives under peace, especially
peace in the wide-open spaces of the Pacific Northwest.
2. This verse is rhythmical and vigorous, hut rather conventional, and
sometimes sentimental. It is wholesome in character, often racy and humor
ous. One finds in it much of the feelings of those who went over to "hunt
the Huns," and of those who stayed behind. Life in the Northwest is treated
sympathetically.
3. The author of several successful books of poetry here sings of training
camps and trench life; then, by contrast, of the open spaces of the Pacific
Northwest.

NORTHWEST BOOKS 51
Comment: i. Portrays the evolution of logging methods in the Northwest
in an authoritative way. It catches the spirit of the life of the men in the
lumber camps. Sophisticated readers will not accept the Horatio Alger type
of characterization and will find the plot overburdened with intrigue and
lacking in action. Readers of light romantic fiction will be entertained and
mildly stimulated.
2. Mr. Case has proved in this story, Big Timber, that he is master of
the action yarn. The underdog wins. College youth pits its brains and tradi
tions against the odds of speculators and the Great Oregon Woods and wins.
The tale is full of many technical words, but these need not interfere with
the action of a very swiftly moving plot that holds attention page after
page, for readers who like to have things happen swiftly.
3. Two college boys, recalled to their homes in the Northwest by the
deaths of their fathers in an accident, carry on the logging business in which
their fathers had been partners. To complicate matters the boys had fallen
in love with the same girl. The story is of the struggle which followed and
what came of it A well written and well sustained tale.

otherwise clean story is the over-emphasis of the squaw traffic in the first
chapters. Men who like tales of the rugged out-of-doors will enjoy this book.
2. Mr. Case has written a yarn of the Alaskan gold country replete with
every thriller it could hold: a remittance man, a hero unjustly charged with
murder, 9,000 ounces of gold, a beautiful Irish girl, and plenty of bad men,
Indians, dog sleds f n* everything. The story starts a bit slowly, but as it
gathers momentum it reaches several melodramatic climaxes that all finally

indigenous factors, settlement and growth, this work presents as well a
rather full survey of the larger historical story of the Oregon country prior
to statehood. Later portions given over to the valley's agricultural, industrial,
and educational growth. Adequately written. Of value as general supple
mentary reading. Over 800 pages.

Comment: A somewhat story-ized account of Oregon history, highly readable
and for the most part authentic. Told in flowing narrative style, with many
incidents gathered from then-living characters. Has considerable human in

some debatable viewpoints and false glamour.

easily staged and best suited to college ages. They all carry a thought but
some are weirdly presented. They may act better than they read.
2, Seven one-acts, five of them in tragic mood and unusual settings with
symbolic implications. Two love idyls, also highly symbolic, relieve the

Comment: i. Story of adolescence in rural conditions, with human discussion
of relationship of husband, wife and second wife and attendant complica
tions, Splendid prose style ; rather chaotic plot, but with fine description and
moving emotional passages. Recommended highly for adults.
2. Beautifully written. Mrs. Coates has an appreciation of words and
knows how to use them sparingly and yet create atmosphere. It is a collec
tion of brief sketches of pioneering life in the middle west, seen through the
eyes of an imaginative, sensitive child. It would give the reader a good
background idea of the conditions surrounding the struggles of early pioneers
and also her word pictures would be splendid collateral reading for English

tion ; keenly perceptive. Beautiful.

Comment: i. Experiences of the heart, sharp, vivid, in a variety of lyrical
forms. Mrs. Coates steers clear of sentimentality. These are poems of ma
turity, poignant, convincing. Montana, its ranches, mountains, gleams in and
out of the music, though never named in the words.
2. There is less of mead than of mangel-wur2el, but the poems, which
have a story interest underlying them, show that this road to happiness had
to be a way of pain. The poems are reconstructed moods of the untractable,
unsuitable, and unappeasable in femininity, ranging from sadonic facing

of impossible situations to absolute and perfect surrender to the final worthy
love,
3 : Wonderful appreciation and feeling for words. But not a happy col
lection. Her own words, "Mead was the honey-weather Gods of Olympus
were always soused on; and mangel-wurzels are coarse beets that my Ger
man ancestors fed their cattle on in good times, and themselves in times of
famine/' But she hastily added that it isn't that which is honey wine and
hunger root: it is love which "is mead when you are falling in and mangle-
wurzel when you are falling out."

Comment: i. It is terse yet beautiful, this tiny book of lyric verse. Critical
and clear eyed vision of what life brings to middle age. Many show a joyous
understanding of Montana sources. It is not a book that youth will be eager

goodvery well done. Grace Stone Coates is only for those who are willing
to drink a cup down to its very dregs.
2* Strength, ^rebellion, delicate hatred, and vivid sympathy are in this
book of intrinsically feminine poetry. There is intensity in this collection,
and ^ a polished technique. Some of the poems, however, suffer from ob
scurity, and many will be realized sympathetically by only a few readers.

Comment: i. An account of a pioneer doctor's experiences in the days of
the earliest boom in and around Bead, the boom being mostly in lumbering.
Written without the least literary pretension, and never reaching a "literary"
level, it is none the less a moving record of the hardships and heroism (and
some humor) that went into a medical man's successful attempt to make
good in such an environment as he depicts. Invaluable close-up of what life
in general was like in eastern Oregon from 1905 to 1910.
2. The author's own story of his experiences as "the doc" at Farewell

able, but that fact can be somewhat overlooked in lieu of the rousing raw

Comment: i. As the subtitle suggests, this is to a limited extent a "book of

The book is excellent. Some of the poems are very fine. Some rather mediocre.
However, there is sufficient excellence to recommend it to perusal of both
high school and college students, although it is more adapted to the latter.
The style, while not so involved and vague as in These People, is still often
esoteric in its implications. In the main, however, the literary style is good.
2. A distinctive volume of poetry on nature themes in an Oregon setting.
Several historical narratives add a pioneer flavor to the subject matter. Much
of the poetry is approached in a philosophical mood; all of it is intellectual
rather than emotional, but lyrical notes are also heard. For readers who
appreciate a high literary quality.

Gen. R. Men, Women
Comment: i. As a Pulitzer Prize winner, this work stands by itself; it
would anyway. Written with vigor, fine sense of flavor of human speech,
atmosphere of period and place. There is little intention of ennobling a
theme or setting, largely scraggly and often sordid, yet there emerges from
the book a sense of the pains, and the cost, and the waste that lie between
the romantic stages of first pioneering and the ultimate establishing of civil
ized existence. While Mr. Davis deeply offended the sensibilities of the
pioneers' offspring, he seems to relate pretty much what they say about each
other, and his people are squatters, hop-pickers, drifters, anyway. Authentic
value as a picture of a crabbed arid yet not entirely unlovely phase of the
sage ^of settlement. Literary value very high, magnificent for the flavor of
frontier lingo, wealth of observation, and capacity to tell a yarn.
2. A tale of the "wide open spaces" of Oregon in the early twentieth
century, robust and earthy. Characters are unappealing and we doubt wheth
er typical of the true Oregon pioneer of 1905. The plot is rambling and
long-drawn-out, but vitality of style, humor, and beauty of description give
the book distinction.
3. Davis attempts in the novel to give a fairly wide picture of the main
types of occupations of Oregonians during 1906-08, excluding only life in
cities and larger towns and in the more settled areas. Frank, sometimes
strongly flavored, the novel is one of the best regional studies done recently*

Comment; This Is not a novel: rather it is a series of stories of the attacks
of the Inquisition in 16th-century Spain on liberal, freedom-loving folk.
Thus there were forced out of Spain many of its most desirable citizens who
fled intolerant, short-sighted policies to lands of opportunity though of great
danger. The ship-load of freedom-seekers having been gathered by the
author from various ports of Spain, the big comp any ^ crosses the ocean to
Mexico, and then makes the hazardous and difficult trip north and^west to
California to start a great hacienda in Southern California. Informing and
entertaining, with interest sustained by description of adventures. No plot
to hold it together. The thesis seems to be that whereas the early North
eastern settlers came under persecution due to religious and political ideas,
Spanish-America was populated by Europeans in search of gold and riches,
the fact is that the early settlers of California were as much fugitives from
intolerance in Europe as were the Pilgrims. -- * *-~

Comment: The story is laid m a town of the middle west with a part of the

action transferred to Portland, Oregon. The chief value of the narrative lies
in the presentation of the unusual atmosphere of the Dutch community, which
is dominated by narrow orthodox creeds, symbolized by the bells of its
churches. The style is realistic and for the most part without distinction,
the characterization uneven, and the story structurally weak. But as a study
of a partly assimilated alien settlement it might prove interesting.

a history of missionary efforts in the Northwest. Mary and Elkanah Walker
did not play the great roles of Whitman and Spalding, but we see them more
clearly through Dr. Drury's biography because he had at his disposal the
charming and detailed journal written by_ Mary. Because of the dramatic
events of the time, particular attention is given to the years 183 6-1848.

Comment: i. The definitive biography of the great Oregon missionary by

organization.
z. This is a sound study of an important Northwest figure. Dr. Drury
adds some new material to the body of Whitmanana, re-examines and re-
evaluates that which was already known, and treats a great man with under
standing and sympathy. As a result, Whitman appears as less of story
book hero than he has sometimes been portrayed, but as more of a man, more
significant of a national character, a tragic figure who steeled himself to a
job in which he believed, but which was unpleasant for him, and for which
he was quite probably ill-fitted.

Comment: "Based upon the actual experiences of one of the survivors of me

humor, and of course a romance. There is considerable but not too much
detail of the flying schools, the actual fighting, of which the hero's share is
brief, and of the life of the wounded in hospitals. The hero is not overdrawn,
does not in telling his tale unduly dramatize himself. The book is not pro

the hero. The narrative becomes clearer and simpler as it progresses and the
hero's exploits in Japan are well told. The author lacks dramatic ability;
the speech does not grow out of action, but is rather a comment after the
deeds have taken place. The story is told from the author's rather than the

2. A highly romanticized fictional treatment of the opening of the western

Most volumes of plays present two angles of interest the reader interest and
tne play interest. This collection certainly possesses the former, but my guess
is that its chief merit is a challenge to a producer with ideas and a sensi
tivity to theatre values who can find four excellent pieces of "theatre."
2. These four plays use such varied locales as a university campus
(Cloistered Calm], a woodland scene where three girls encounter a charming
combination of fancy and reality {Afternoon of a Nymph), an oriental set
ting for love and swift death (Nightingale) and satyrical-fantasy covering
some 2000 years to show how human is humanity, (Welcome Stranger).
The best written and best adapted for production is Afternoon of a Nymph.

Comment: i. Professor Ethel presents the philosophical, scientific, rather
mechanistic basis of narrative writing. His book is probably of more value
to the literary critic than to the literary artist or craftsman.
2. An original analysis of the function of the novel in the light of
present-day culture, philosophy, and scientific knowledge. Carefully logical,
the study of the technique of creating fiction is frequently brilliant. Its author
views art as an activity functionally inseparable from the problems of living.

2. A novel of dry-land farming on a homestead in Eastern Montana, with
the difficulties of life complicated by the mother-in-law problem. A realistic,
rather depressing picture, of the struggle of a man and his wife against the

Comment: i. Some of the poems are handled with a certain amount of liter

study. The verses give insight into Oregon life and background.
2. A collection of gay verse by an interesting and unusual personality of
many gifts as a journalist, a radio artist, a lecturer, and a philosopher. Rich
in whimsy, humor, and every-day philosophy, these poems are set against
Northwest nature backgrounds. Simple, and frequently narrative, they are
excellent for reading aloud. Most distinctive of these delightful, informal,

Comment: i. A tourist would accept this book, but my students who have
looked up their home towns report many small errors and omissions. The
route from Great Falls to Helena does not list Wolf Creek Canyon or The
Sleeping Giant (an interesting mountain). Carroll College is said to have a
high school department; that is not true. On the map, Wisdom is listed as at
C-6; it should be listed as at H-4. Wolf Creek is listed as at -4; it is at
E-6. Although several routes go through the larger cities, in the index these
cities are only once listed. I have used the book on trips about the state, and
have noticed these defects. No doubt there are many others.
2. The larger part of the book discusses tours, giving information about
hotels, kinds of roads to be encountered, equipment needed for tourists, his

gives history, industries, the temper of the people, etc., and five cities are
dealt with in detail. All very interesting.

Comment: i. The book gives a picture of bonanza life on the Comstock
Lode, but as readers of Fisher would expect, it is a social study of boom-
town life, not a glorification of "the good old days." It is a rapid, vigorous
story, but it is rich, also, in psychological insight and in ironic overtones.
Readers who found Dark Bridwell and In Tragic Life upsetting will prob
ably call this Fisher's best novel; others may find it less significant and more
hastily written than some of Fisher's earlier work.
2. The book presents a vivid picture of greed and lust for wealth mixed
with Eilley Bower's determined but frustrated gropings after culture among
the welter of illiterates, harlots, and perverts of a hodgepodge mining com
munity thrown together around the fabulous Comstock Lode. A gripping pic
ture of elemental emotions, in Eilley Bower's City of Illusion, against an au
thentic background of a typical pioneer American mining center, gives the
book national historic significance.

Comment: i. The author describes with appreciation Southeastern Idaho and
its isolated ranches, but his main character, Charley Bridwell, capable of
amazing extremes in fun, cruelty, and tenderness, sounds unconvincing,
Revolting descriptions, not pertinent to the plot, are frequent. I see no liter
ary value in the story.
2. Many readers will find this the most baffling of all of Vardis Fisher's
strange books. Charley Bridwell is a glutton and a brute and an elemental
sort of beast, but Fisher sees in him the beauty of elemental things, and this
beauty finds an echo in what is probably the most poetic prose Fisher has
written. This is a beautiful and terrifying book.
3. Story of Charley Bridwell, the strangest man in four Idaho counties.
Jester and brigand and clown, there lies behind his gluttony and banter a
sleeping demon.
4. The story will entertain the average reader. The vivid dry-farm de
scriptions are simply told ; the dialects are consistent. The unknowing ignor
ance of the people is not exaggerated. The conflicts between Bridwell and
the members of his family are related interestingly.
5. Fisher is always vigorous. The mighty Snake River sweeps irresist
ibly through these pages. There are four parts to the story, dealing with
Charley Bridwell, his wife and his two children. The book itself is a
strange mixture of romance and stark realism romance in general concept,
realism in individual details.

Comment: i. Four essays in which the author attempts to clarify for himself
some important attitudes on radicalism, humor, and education. One feels that
Fisher is sincere in his views that are a result of careful observation.
2. Mr. Fisher says that these four essays are "attempts to clarify for
myself some important attitudes," and the reader of Mr. Fisher's novels will
find in them an expository statement of what this novelist has tried to say
elsewhere in dramatic form. The reader will also find them intelligent,
learned, and salty.
3. Mr. Fisher writes again of the hopelessness of the human race. Man,
tortured by his frustrations, is sinking back into abyssmal slime. Is Mr.
Fisher as neurotic as those of whom he writes or am I just dumb?

The hero^(?) goes back to his birthplace after a life of unsettled mind and
moral strife, let us hope to peace and quiet rest. He surdy needs it. Too
long a book and not for the ordinary reader, I would say.
2. This book, which presents Vridar Hunter rebuilding his life after its
great crisis, is the best of Fisher's tetralogy. Vridar develops a positive
philosophy by which to live as he strives to understand forces that have
made and molded his life. An intellectual novel showing brilliant narrative
ability at times.
3. This volume brings to a close the Vridar Hunter tetralogy. Fisher's
achievement in his four books is giving us this great record of a man's slow

The sonnet sequence, addresser to an imaginary madonna for whom the poet
no longer feels any romantic love, embodies Fisher's belief that we have been
perverted from good sense by romantic delusions, and that such delusions lie
at the root of modern frustration.
2. ^This collection of sonnets expresses the stern, ironical, and iconoclastic
doctrines of the author. The sonnets are perfect in structure, beautiful, but
the ideas expressed, would probably repel the ordinary reader, because these
ideas are unconventional, pessimistic, and realistic. The book is magnificent
poetry.

Comment: i. ^ Describes the poverty and struggle of a couple in new dry-

taste should be omitted. His obviously accurate description of the dirt, lone
liness, and its effect on the wife dispels the glamor of pioneer life. Locale,

2. Dock Hunter and wife, Opal, take a homestead on the hill-lands of
Idaho and begin their conquest of the sagebrush and the matted grass that is
to bring them fortune. Book will endure as an epic picture of the West.
3. ^ Ruthless struggle with the soil in Southern Idaho, where the women
especially are borne down with child-bearing and incessant toil in an un
lovely environment. This is the author's first book more conventional in
treatment, yet full of promise for growth in style and characterization.

to overshadow the sexual outbursts.
2. Third book of a tetralogy concerning the search of a disillusioned

Comment: i. This is a serious study by an established psychologist, an effort

developed during recent years by psychiatrists and clinical psychologists.
2. The nationally known psychologist and psychotherapist, whose Abnor

advances a profound theory in interpretation of the neuroses.
3. A very interesting book insofar as the layman can understand it Only
the most careful reading can render it anything but abstruse, I didn't feel
that it solved any particular problems but rather left one with the idea that
if he became too attached to his parents he might in later life throw his
gloves out of high windows or see white rings on his eye-glasses.
4. Very interesting if interested in this line of reading. Brilliantly written
but hard for the average reader to comprehend. Takes up racial or selfless
motives and ego or selfish. His interpretation of nervous disorders is a chal

Xavier, the missionary; Will Adams, the pilot, and Ranald MacDonald, the

on a freighter out to the Pacific coast and finally, after hard work, finds
success in Arizona. There are tricksters to beat, mutiny on high seas and
romance. Rather sentimentally conventional and not as absorbing as some

out victor over enemies and achieves culmination of romance in the winning
person of Joan Fielding. Memorable characterizations of Russian mujiks, a
village priest, young Peter, son of a gold thief, and Kubrick, the outlaw,
as well as of Stephen and Joan. Literary style vivid, crisp, often impres
sionistic and fine.
2. Authentic Siberian setting and characters, providing a romantic and
adventurous experience for an American mining engineer. Better than Mr.
Harper's Forgotten Gods. Smooth, pleasing prose style.
3. Written around the same characters, Stephen Wild, Kubrick and
Peter, one learns of the influence of the Revolution of 1905 on the peasants
of Siberia. Unfamiliar as they are with the use of electricity. Stephen Wild
protects his mine and the peasants who have helped him.
4. A "wild west" story of the American engineer, Stephen Wyld, who
foils all enemies, saves his gold mines from sinister competitors, turns suspi
cious moiyiks to friends, safeguards and wins his chief's daughter, and with
the help of an old priest, a small boy and a mysterious outlaw, provides
melodrama and excitement worked out against a background of cold, hard
ships and mysterious Russia. Excellent adolescent appeal for readers from
10 to 70. Right now, has some special value as a contrast in the social values
of democracy and authoriatarianism.

2. Young Mallory, fulfilling his ambition to become a doctor, serves an
isolated coast community so loyally his city-bred wife soon leaves him ; at 48
his heart fails. A good story but too typed to be a character study. A flu

3. Deals with the life of Robert Mallory from age 10, when he become
obsessed with a passion to become a physician, until his death, age 4.6. It
gives all the trials, tribulations, and few joys of a medical student, interne

except where it is marred by profanity. Powerful.

presents Robert Mallory, who chose not to capitalize his brilliance but to
remain a country doctor advocating socialized medicine, and sincerely strug
gling against ignorance and malice in the fishing village of Siltcoos River
in Oregon. His personality and enthusiasm sustain the interest.

medical disapproval, to work out a liver "extract for the treatment of per
nicious anemia. In style and subject matter the book reminds? the reader of
Arrowsmith* but Hart's style is, If anything, more polished than Lewis'. It
is nonetheless often organically crude. The medical discussion is apparently
authentic, and will give pleasure to the reader of "medicated novels."
^2. A fine novel dealing with medical research, this is Dr. Hart at or near
his best. The plot is alight but the interest is absorbing* The author is a
master of both subject matter and style.
3. This clinical study of pernicious anemia is perhaps the best of Dr.
Hart's novels. The locale is Seattle disguised as Seaforth, but it seems to be
a characteristic of these medical novels that they don't assimilate much from
geographical backgrounds, so it makes little difference. Professional men are
hard to individualize; and the doctors of this book talk and act just as they
do in The Eealfr, or The Magnificent Obsession, or The Citadel^ the last
of which came after Dr. Hart's novel.

region have been described. The work is accurate and authoritative, and is
supplemented with a glossary of botanical terms, and an index of English

good Cosmopolitan or Colliers fiction ; but the author shows tendencies to
ward a deeper reconstruction of frontier life and character than this might

Comment: i. This is a collection of verses almost on the ballad style which
reflect the attitude of the average Butte miner. Full of optimism and civic
pride as well as genuine appreciation for the underground worker. Can not
be classified as poetry although there is much rhyme and simple rhythm.
2. A collection of unpolished and naive poems of the mining camp and
the life as the author saw it. Some of them have good humor, and some a
real swing that is pleasing to the reader. Verse rather than poetry.

Comment: i. Had these yarns been written more skilfully, they would have
been very entertaining for many of them have a point not well developed;
however, the author lacks ability to put a "punch" into his stories. A little
more imagination would have saved many of them from being utterly or
dinary.
2, A collection of mining camp stories, some good, some bad, many
mediocre. It is worth reading for the picture it gives the uninitiated of the

wants to^ get a job and a wife. Although the action is well-paced, the char

2. The arrival of Lord Wiggleton at Edgewater Inn excites the whole
neighborhood, but when three other men also register as Lord Wiggleton,
tumult prevails. A health faddist, a stage-struck porter, and a young couple

daughter, a very mischievous younger daughter, and three commonplace
characters who resort to matrimonial bureaus. No dull moments.

Comment: r. Happy-Go-Lucky is a knock-about farce, the complications of

Comment: This is the first part of Lone Cowboy, rearranged and edited for
young readers. Will James was born on the cow trail. When he was a few
months old his mother died and at five years his father was killed and the
boy was left in the care of a trapper who taught him to carry his first pack
outfit and shoulder his first gun. At this early age young Billy did his first
drawing.

Comment: i. A real cowboy's lived experiences with bucking horses, cow
horses, wild horses, cattle, and cattle rustlers. Although much of the book
repeats All in the Day's Riding, a better book, it will be welcomed by the
insatiable reader of Westerns. Written in cowboy vernacular and illustrated

2. One of the classics of cowboy lore, written from the author's own ex
periences and illustrated with his drawings. The colloquail style adds a dis

his main interest is in horses.
3. Eight chapters dealing with cowboy life. Types of cowboys, methods
of horse-breaking, cattle rustling, the winter cow camp, training the cow
horse, longhorns, the capture of wild horses these are the chief topics of
this interesting book of reminiscences. Fully illustrated by the author. Locale,

Comment: i. Two thoroughbred horses, one with a pedigree and one with
out, were thrown together by fate when only colts and this is the story of
their experiences in the open range country, in the rodeo and in racing. The
author's knowledge of horses and cowboy life predominates, to which plot
and character development are subordinate. Written in cowboy vernacular
and illustrated by the author.
2. Typically Will James story. It concerns two horses, a racing thorough
bred, and a descendant of generations of wild horses. There are rodeos, horse
races, cowboys and cowgirls. The story is told as if James were speaking
rather than writing and it will appeal to general readers from eight on up.

great human virtues of honesty, fair play and self-reliance. He, unlike so

2, A story of the development of rodeos from its beginning on the plains
between riders from various ranches to its present large scale contests with
strict rules. An exciting story and one that will appeal especially to those

2. This book, constructed well for an author, uneducated, gives a fas
cinating insight into the home life and work of a western rancher. His
hopes, desires and philosophy of life are brought out. The writer contrasts
the aimlessness of city folk with the hard work of the rancher.

Smoky f The Cowhorse; Charles Scribner's Sons, 1926
Rec. Jr. H. 7, 8, 9
Sr. H. 10, ii, 12
Comment: i. To see the well-worn volume in the high school library would
help one to know the appeal which Smoky has to youngsters; but anyone
with a love of horses, or respect for men with that strong, warm feeling
will appreciate Will James and his cowboy, Clint. If occasionally the author
slips from his vernacular and shows slightly more erudition than seems
appropriate, he is forgiven.
2. The author makes the life story of Smoky convincing by a wealth
of authentic details covering every activity which the cowboy could ex
perience. His loyalty to Clint, the cowboy, and his hatred of all other men
lead to many actions which tax the credulity of the reader, though they
furnish excellent reading,
3. Moving in the atmosphere of the range, the story, written by a native
Montanan, paints the ideal horse of which every cowboy has dreamed.
Doubt not that this dream horse is well within the possibilities. The story
is delightful, the author faithfully depicting with feeling for his material a
glamorous by-gone period. Fiction again records history,
4. Smoky is the story of a wild range horse and the cowboy who broke
and finally trained him to be a cow horse. As it is told through the eyes of
the horse himself, it is much more appealing. Considered one of the best
horse stories ever written. It gives an excellent picture of range horses and
also cowboy life. The illustrations are especially good. Newbery Medal

author's grammar is quite terrible, he 'does build up atmosphere with it and
also presents a more realistic idea of the early cowboy.
2. This book explains in a charming manner the horse and cattle industry
through the medium of two city children. Aside from getting an inside

wholesome environment for children during vacations.

Comment: i. The plot revolves about six men, who have all been lovers of
the woman for whom they are now pall-bearers. The action covers but a
day, but the memories cover the preceding lifetimes. Strong realism, much
of it unattractive.
a. This novel uses the flash-back and episodic technique that can some
times serve only to confuse and annoy the reader. Nard Jones skillfully tells
the story of the dead woman's life by giving sketches of the lives of the six
men who had been her lovers during her lifetime. It is somewhat melo
dramatic.
3. To all six of her lovers Leah was a subconscious symbol of fertility,
a life-giving power, around whom their destinies were unwittingly shaped.

Comment: i. A novel and charming tale, a fantasy of fantasies, this story
makes its appeal through the folk and fairy traditions. Rather more Irish
than American in flavor and idiom. Timeless in appeal, rather than "placed."
Suitable for any age.
2. A comparison of Here Comes Somebody with the Wizard of Oz is
inevitable. This charming story of Mary Elizabeth, Jumbles and the Dark
Woman takes its place with the great children's stories of contemporary
literature. Though written for Mr. Lampman's daughter, its story will appeal
to all children, its ideas to all ages, and its lucid style to all lovers of the
written word. Locale, "back of beyond" but it sounds like Oregon.

Comment: i. A collection of verse and prose sketches by a versatile writer
whose Portland Oregonian editorials of both power and charm have given
him a wide following. His field is nature, but his interpretations are intensely
personal, revealing the deep sympathies of the poet. This is sensitive, beauti
ful, sincere poetry and prose that is at the same time deeply significant.
Human interest and literary appeal.
2. This collection of editorials, sketches and poems by a journalist on
the staff of the Oregonian, has the charm and the whimsicality that are the
mark of the experienced writer. Their intricacy of idea and the poetic quality
of expression will make these sketches more appreciated by the sophisticated
than by the casual reader.

Comment: Written under a prevailing mood of nostalgia, this is a work of
considerable implication. In general, tells the story of the old-day tramp
printer of the Mid- West, and of his passing; in specific, portrays vividly a
gallery of characters of "the stick." Sympathetically and beautifully told,
though inclines to be "purple" writing.

Comment: This book, one of a series of sociology texts, is an attempt to de

the bases of social organization and the process of social disorganization.
The manner of presentation is clear but somewhat technical. Only persons
with some background would benefit from the book. Like others I have

Comment: i. The author, himself a member of the vigilante group and a
well known figure in the early history of Montana, describes the stirring
times of the gold rush in Bannock and Virginia City from 1862 to 1864,
when the country was terrorized by the road agents. This is one of the two
contemporary accounts of the crimes and punishment of the road agents.
2. This is a factual record of the struggle waged in western Montana
and adjoining territory to establish law and order against an organized band
of criminals thought, at times, to be more numerous than those opposing
them. The vigilantes needed no apology made for their organization and its
activities ; and this book explains why.
3. Truth, far stranger than fiction, is related here in Mr. Langford's
flowing and piquant manner. Outlaws and brigands who terrorized early set
tlers in Montana ride again across these pages upon their desperate missions,
But "crime carries its own punishment" and they soon met their match in
the Vigilantes, men as fearless as they in their insistence upon law and
order. The book is a splendid portrait of pioneer days and adventurous lives.

a considerable amount of repetition detracts somewhat from the book.

perils from revolutions and alligators are all bravely and resourcefully en
countered by a little Mexican boy. The story is engagingly told and through
it all runs the author's evident affectionate appreciation of a country lacking
in material comforts but rich in human kindliness and simple pleasures.

tured by the gypsies, escapes from them and finds a place for himself in the

question, musical, poignant, full of lovely imagery, but marred here and
there by mixed or incomplete figures which no doubt this promising young
writer will revise before a second printing.
3. The lyrics which compose this small, bright book will quickly find their
way into the hearts of lovers of poetry because of their careful workmanship,
their restraint, and their recurrent melody. Through them we glimpse the
moods of a sensitive person keenly aware of joy and sorrow and the beauty
of the world around her. We are caught, too, by the rollicking spirit which
brings her from the depths to the crest of the wave.

Sp. R,
Comment: By "democracy" the author means not merely a kind ot govern
ment, but "... a whole system of social relations in which individuals are
given, as nearly as may be, equal opportunity and responsibilities." Such a
system, however, which removes artificial obstacles to occupational adjust
ment, will only hasten occupational stratification. This thesis is supported by
personal observation and careful investigation from the writings of sociolo
gists, and eugenists. All of which leads the author to the final conclusion:
"In proportion as the ideals of democracy are realized in practice, in that
proportion does society tend to become divided into occupational classes with
hereditary membership."

like their West with cream and sugar.

to those in the author's first volume, Rhymes of a Homesteader, appeared
earlier in such periodicals as: The Ladies' Home Journal, The Lyric West,
Midland, Sunset, and Contemporary Verse. Vigorous and cheerful and some
what of the Bret Harte variety, their chief limitation is sentimentalism. They
should be popular, however, with both old and young.

the building of the Columbia River Highway in 1915. Much of the story
consists of reminiscences of pioneers which give a human interest touch for
which Mr. Lockley is noted. Its chief fault is the too rapid changing from
the past to the present.
2. The book is a group of short biographies of the more important pio
neers of the state of Oregon. The student will gain values from this book by
getting intimate personal light on the report of pioneers who actually took
part in the settlement of the West

Comment: i. Oregon Folks consists of a number of interviews with some
citizens of Oregon. They start with pioneer days and carry the story up to
the time just after the World War. They are simply and entertainingly told
and make the people of the past live again. Such characters as Joe Meek
and Sam Jackson seem like old friends.
2. A most interesting collection of interviews with Oregon pioneers writ
ten by a newspaper man who gives the history of Oregon state's beginning
by means of delightful stories. They are simply yet charmingly written.

days in Jacksonville. He tells the life stories of such characters as John Jacob
Astor, Dr, John McLoughlin, John Ball, Oregon's pioneer school teacher,
Jedediah Smith, Jason Lee, Marcus Whitman and a number of others. They
are clearly written accounts and he makes us feel we too lived through those

Comment: i. Dwight Long's adventuresome account of his four years' trip
around the world in a thirty-two-foot ketch, the Idle Hour, is thrilling
enough to quicken the pulse of any landlubber eager for the open sea. Weath
ering hurricanes, avoiding treacherous reefs, sailing into uncharted waters
are all a part of this sea-wanderer's story.
2. A story of a four years' round-the-world cruise in a tiny boat, this book
is exciting and frequently dramatic. Young Mr. Long is a good observer and
one of those daring adventurers whose life seems to be charmed. His account
is not always credible, but it is always good.
3. Here is ^a detailed account of the young author's exciting and amazing
world cruise in a small boat, many pleasant as well as unpleasant experi
ences, and numerous escapes from death. Many aspects of life in remote
places are interestingly shown, with some comparison with our own ways.
4. This is the story of a twenty-one-year-old boy who sailed around the
world in a 32-foot ketch. Descriptions of the Islands, Holy Land, and Ara
bian pirates help make this book interesting and worthwhile. The book is
written in an interesting and appealing style, shows contrast of Island people
and those living on the Continents, and is up-to-date.

2. Stories stress advantage of higher education for young people. First
story, "What Every Mother Wants," by far the best, is based on actual
happenings in family of author, with own mother as heroine a gripping

the true Vikings of the Pacific and travelled far out into the sea in their
sturdy but graceful and beautifully carved canoes. This group of stories is

Comment: i. A collection of 300 poems written by ninety-four contemporary
154 NORTHWEST BOOKS
poets of the Northwest, reflecting adequately the reaction of individuals to
their environment, yet including much work that is universal rather than
regional in a geographic sense. A handbook of Northwest writers. Unique
in its field, it has met good response from critical commentators. Widely and
very favorably reviewed.
2. Northwest Verse is an anthology of poetry written by Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, and Montana writers. In this fine collection are verses vividly
and feelingly expressing the spirit of Northwest pioneers, Western life as it
is found today. The reader of the book also feels the reaction of Northwest
poets to this age of realism. The anthology is particularly well-suited for
reference reading in a college course on Northwest literature. It also should
be found on high school library shelves for assignment reading.
3. This book, with Mr. Coleman's, offered the greatest literary treasury
of the Northwest which has come my way. Both take permanent places in
national literature. Northwest Verse is a collection of verse chiefly from
newer poets. It contains verse lyrical, philosophic, narrative, but always
original, enduring as the mountains themselves and regional. No library can
be without this volume. The youth of the Northwest must have a chance at it.

desperate persons who write to her. Humor, combined with candid under

born in Hillsdale, 1893, and attached to Arctic exploring expeditions with
Stefansson, in the second of which he died. Young Knight was a true adven
turer, eager for every chance to penetrate the physical unknown, reacting
vigorously to everything. Interesting account of Stefansson 7 s qualities as a

"talk." It reveals an attractive young personality, eager yet self-disciplined,
courageous, with a sense of humor and of good-humor.

Comment: i. Life of an American who sailed with Captain Cook to the
Northwest coast, attempted to reach Alaska by traveling across Siberia, was
arrested by the Russians, finally released, and died as he was beginning an
expedition into Africa. Based on the life by Jarad Sparks. Imaginary con
versations detract from historical value.
2. A popular account of the extraordinary career of John Ledyard, who
in the i8th century was with James Cook when the explorer sailed along the
west coast of Oregon, and on to Alaska. He came within 600 miles of his
goal when he attempted to reach Alaska by crossing Europe and Siberia. He
died at Cairo as he was about to start on an expedition into Africa. The
author in his bright, alert style has told a story that impresses the imagina
tion, but he has held to the facts.
3. The life story of a man who rose from commonplace surroundings in a
series of dramatic events to become the friend of glamorous figures of Revo
lutionary America Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Paul Jones,
and the Marquis de Lafayette. He sailed around the world with Captain
Cook, and due to his explorations in the Northwest, became the inspiration
for the Louisiana Purchase. No attempt was made, according to the author,
to present an exhaustive or definitive biography, but he has given a fascinat
ing account of one of the great Americans.

Comment: i. A story of interlocking lives, especially those of three rural
families in the region of the Yellowstone River (Big Horn Country).
Though a tale of intrigue, murder, adultery, fire, and drouth, the general
atmosphere is strangely one of health and sanity. Its theme is well sum
marized in the lines: "The sooner you plum realize how surprising disgust
ing things can be mixed in with the natural goodness of a human thing, the
sooner you will be better off." A first novel and a good one.
2. On Sarpy Creek is a very human story of dry farming in Montana.

attempt year after year to make the land yield them a living is unfolded in
quiet, sincere style.

strong convictions of the author are everywhere apparent; and his dry and
piercing wit has free play. The books should be in every high school library

Comment: i. Here a well-known educator makes a plea for a greater use of
philosophy in approaching modern problems. The term "lowbrow" he defines
as being one, who, realizing that the world is vast, "wants to increase his
understanding of it," Socrates is the best example of this type of mind. The
themes in this collection of sixteen essays run the gamut from "persons and
things" up to "God." Good counsel for the older as well as for the younger
reader whom doubtless the writer had principally in mind.
2. A book^of essays which serves to popularize a group of the more im
portant historical concepts of philosophy without concerning itself too much
with technical metaphysical, ethical, logical, or aesthetic questions. It offers
good approach to these important problems for the mind not yet fully awake
to them.
3. This^ book contains essays on a practical philosophy for everyday living
expressed in simple terms. It deals with such subjects as personality, man's
end in life, reason and imagination, personal religion, and others. It is at
tractively written for college students and should help them to find their

2. Story of a Finnish and Scandinavian community on the Naselle River

den with fogs and floods, and the sound of winds and waters dominates the
story, which pictures well the Finns and Swedes of the district with their
age-old race enmity, the newer feuds of lumberjacks and fishermen, gill-

most of whom are Swedish and Finnish immigrants. It is a story of local
color, told^ with sincerity and vividness. The people are real and the at
mosphere is genuine. The plot is just fair. It is the love story of a Seattle
teacher who finds happiness in her love for one of these stolid Finns and
who eventually develops an understanding for the Finnish people.

have a wide range of readers for it is profound and illuminating. It is more
than crisis literature.
^ 2. An^ analytical study of Fascist idealogy and its inescapable implica

2. Illustrated by the author. Long, somewhat tedious collection of anec
dotes on the trials of cattle-raising in Arizona mountains. This, the first of

apparently to no end but raising cattle and keeping a ranch together in spite
of drought, wolves, floods, and a million other menaces and nuisances. De

Rec. Gen. R. Men, Women
Comment: i. Issued as a tribute of esteem for a truly fine personality, this
book stands on its own as a volume full of sensitive feeling, honest percep
tions, rich and deep living, and not a little of skillful poetic craftsmanship.
Mrs. Rebec's lively interest in travel, art, people, ideas have enriched 150
poems with much of genuine humanism. Her sentiments are not sentimental ;
her emotions and her ideas are not borrowed. Themes are death, love of life,
the earth and things growing from it, the sky, trees, people, their faces,
voices, hopes, greatness and littleness, all seen with wise and tolerant gaze.
The^ poet is not the victim of her own emotions nor the raw wills of others.
While she made almost no gesture toward publication of her work, there is
unquestionably some of the best Oregon-written poetry in the volume.

hiding places many delicate records of a fine spirit that saw life whole and
steadily, and without too much resentment: its end as well as its beginning
and its prime. Keen as was her love of nature, it was man and the works
and tragedy of man that best aroused her power of penetration . . . the
tradition and discipline that control the form of her writing represent some
thing innate in her character.

Comment: An adventure story of outer Mongolia. The central figure is an
American ex-soldier. Tale concerns intrigues of a band of Whites opposed
to Reds and Chinese in attempt to dominate Mongolia. The chief incident is
a treasure raid on the seat of a Chinese ruler. The action Is rapid, lively,
and sufficiently thrilling. The description of the country and native life has
an air of reality. The characters, with the exception of a Mongolian girl,
the heroine, are not unusual, nor are they particularly attractive, but this is
not essential to an adventure story. The American, who is somewhat crude
externally, has the basic fundamentals of a gentleman.

Comment: Good^ adventure story. The scene is laid in an imaginary Central
or South American country. It concerns a young American college chap who
goes out to work for his uncle's asphalt company and another American,
World War veteran and soldier of fortune, who strongly resemble in several
points the main character in another tale by the same author. There is also
an engaging heroine, more engaging than the Mongolian girl in the other
book. She is, of course, also an American. As is proper each hair-breadth
escape leads to another, but everything turns out happily for the main char
acters. While the frank profanity of two or three of the characters may
perhaps^ shock the parents, and more especially grand-parents of the rising
generation, yet I think any boy would enjoy this tale perhaps any girl and
the basic code is sound. To me it seems superior to some of the stories we are
now using, Beau Sabreur, for instance.

shown. The story is stronger than the style in which it is told.
2. This gives a fairly accurate and first-hand picture of life in California
in the y yo } s and '8o's of the gigantic struggle between the miners and far
mers in a vital phase in the early development of California. It is marred,
however, by much swearing, cursing and references to immoral situations.
3. A roughly told story using the language of miners and pioneers of the
early yo's and presenting the struggles between ranchers and miners in Cali
fornia during that period. The episodes are graphically, sometimes too
graphically, described. The book would be of interest only to the general

Comment: i. This book presents a sifting and an amplifying of the out
standing theories of Rapaport and Stanislavsky on acting. While it may
be best used in a class with the teacher guiding, the style is so clear and the
work exercises so usable that one working alone can also benefit from its
study.
2. Aside from its usefulness as a text, Modern Acting will be helpful to
individuals who are denied the chance of high school or college. The book
is brief, the explanation clear, and the exercises are abundant.

Comment: i. A psychological study of a psychologist and his wife and her
former union without the law. The problem is solved but not proved. There
is a wealth of highbrow debate and some fair conversation. The style (with
so many mental cut-backs and reveries) may be confusing to some readers.
2. Take the Lightning is a brilliant, psychological study of a modern
woman who must choose between the past and the present, between con
formity and non-conformity, between peace and torture. Nancy Ross draws
widely on her knowledge of modern art, psychology, and philosophy.

2. Western adventure story, chiefly of interest to boys, well told, with
plenty of local color. Time of early gold-winning days in Montana. Written
in first person, supposedly by a boy. Some real persons introduced as charac
ters. Episodes are realistic, not overdrawn. Slight element of mystery to add
zest.

Comment: i. Over 400 pages of really exciting incidents that occurred to
an Eastern youngster who came west for excitement. He actually lives with
the Indians, learning their language and everyday lives. He has a great
sympathy for the Indian and tells of their habits in an interesting fashion.
Especially good for a reader interested in Montana Indians.
2. Intimate and detailed account of the domestic life of the Blackfeet on
the plains in the early days. Story authentic because author married into
Blackfeet tribe and lived with them many years. Unusual understanding as
to real nature of Indian revealed. Characters portrayed very sympathetically.
Simple, straight-forward narrative.

Comment: i. A list of the Indian names for the natural features of Glacier
National Park, with short histories of the people and events for which they
were named. An interesting book for those concerned with the history and
lore of the Blackfeet Indians.
2. To preserve the Blackfeet and Kootenai place names of Glacier Park,
the author has listed them, giving the translation, origin, historical back
ground, legends, ceremonials, biographical sketches and stories connected with
them. Places not already named by the Indians were given names of promi
nent Indians and their white friends. Illustrated with drawings by early
western travelers, and photographs. Key numbers on a map of the park
identify the locations.

2. Story from birth of an Indian boy in Blackfeet tribe to youth: training,
pets, playfellows and their pleasures, escape from buffalo stampede, adven
ture with mountain lion, finally his initiation into inner circle of the mosquito

2. Not a novel but a group of sketches of Indian life and customs written

description of the sacred tobacco rites. Unusually fine portraits of Indian
chiefs by Weinold Reiss add greatly to the attractiveness of the book.

realize his hopes. It reveals many of the traditions, customs and folklore of
the Bulgarian people. Miss Shannon's style is not only vivid but very color

Dr. Sheldon has shown remarkable powers of discrimination in presenting his

Rec. Fr. Soph.
Sr. C. Jr. Sen. Gr.
Comment: i. Another collection of American whoppers; very few are those
of Stevens' Paul Bunyan; some have no connection with logging but derive
from Baron Munchausen. The author has collected them first-hand from
loggers and relates them in the vernacular which is illiterate without being
racy of the soil. The book lacks the humor, the extravagances and the gusto
of Stevens' book on the same subject.
2. These stories which center about the mythical hero, Paul Bunyan, have
that indigenous quality which makes them authentic folklore of the North
west. Their spontaneous, racy humor, their almost child-like simplicity and
the swiftness of the action will make a strong appeal to high school students.

Comment: i. Mrs. Shephard presents the thesis that Walt Whitman's repu
tation as a "natural man, the working man's poet," is merely a pose, sug
gested by a little known novel by George Sand. Although the book would, of
course, have a very limited appeal, it should be of interest to students of
American literature.
2. The author has laid bare the important source of much that we have

ing of Whitman's pose because he did not acknowledge this source.

Comment: i. A light book but well worth reading for the disguised acute-
ness of observations on social changes among the rich and near rich during
the depression, for the thread of fine idealism that runs through it, for the
poignancy of emotion it carries, and the satisfying denouncement.
2. A truly sweet love story told by the third side of the eternal triangle.
The emotion is beautifully handled; the poignant longing of the author for
Mary is nostalgic. This short book leaps the great economic change of the
1929 crash, marking well its effect on its victims. Probably not great fiction

Comment: i. This is a collection of clever verse, although it contains little
real poetry. Pleasant reading. It reflects the atmosphere of our scenery and
conditions peculiar to our state in some beautiful descriptions. It is of especial
value to the reader who loves our state and is interested in her literature
more than in the student in school.
2. Idaho grandeur of natural features settlers' life and experiences
furnishes the theme for many of the poems. Many are expressed in true
poetic style, are forceful and original. In some instances the subject matter
is better suited to prose. Poems, on the whole, are inspirational in that they
interpret beauty and glorify pioneer life.
3. Ninety-eight Idaho poets, many of whom are little known, have poems
chosen for their beauty and representativeness included in this first Idaho
anthology. Its verse reflects the unsurpassed natural grandeurs of our state
in exquisite pen pictures together with the staunch pioneer ideals and sound
philosophy of life.
4. The life and spirit of Idaho are reflected in these representative poems
by the state's foremost lyrists. The volume contains characteristic verse of one
hundred Idaho poets.
5. The verse is of very uneven quality, stronger in sentiment than in
emotion or technical excellence. It is wholesome, and inclines to conventional,
but includes some pieces which reflect the country and the people. There are
biographical notes, pp. 171-195.

Gen. R. Men, Women
Comment: i. An exceedingly readable volume, but one in which the promise
of the title is not realized in the text. Instead of being about criticism it is
about reviewing, a very different undertaking. It moves at a rapid pace and
is packed full of fascinating chit-chat, comment, anecdote, generalization,
and sound advice. As a revelation of the scintillating mind of its author it
makes most absorbing reading. If those who read it could contrive to write
their literary small talk (and class-room lectures) in the author's manner,
there would be no question of their success. But Smith never gives away Ms
secret, even though he tries honestly to tell us how a reviewer's job ought to
be done, and illustrates what he says plentifully. I suspect that the formula
includes natural brilliance, an all-retentative memory, the spirit of adventure,
and the benefits of a Rhodes Scholarship in about equal proportions.
2. The author's analysis of the psychological novel is the distinguishing
note in this volume on creative processes in book reviewing and play review
ing. Treatment somewhat sketchy and under-developed in parts, by reason
of over-inclusion of subjects. Generally well written and stimulating.
3. An exposition of critical method, written with charm and a deep
knowledge of the art. Smith is an excellent story-teller, and part of his
method consists in pointing through illustrative anecdotes. Some readers will
find this method too subtle; for them, other, more pedantic, writers are to be
suggested.

3- .This novel is based upon the Bennett-Arcane expedition to California;
the historical background has been developed with care, and the scenes are
treated with a serious attempt at realism, but many readers will find that
the character drawing is artificial. Snell is at his best when treating un

men struggling with the dangers of the frontier and the desert takes on

2. Many would say that this is Mr. Snell's most powerful novel, as it
was his first. It concerns the life of Adam Bullhurst, small-town banker and
local financial bully, whose greed and lust for power ruins his own life, and
the lives of others in a little Idaho village. The book contains a vivid picture
of a western town and its people, and of some of the less admirable aspects
of the social organization accompanying the Church of the Latter Day Saints.
Devout members of that church are likely to consider it unfair; no one can
deny that it is a powerful indictment.

Comment: i. A study of the important changes taking place in the field of
recreational activities and their relation to the whole social and economic
structure. It is an attempt to study the direction of this movement, and is
largely a statistical report.
2. Americans at Play is a monograph embodying scientific information on
the development of recreational activities in the United States. Particular
emphasis is placed on recent progress in recreation and on indications of
present trends. Well documented by statistical tables and biographical notes,
the study is comprehensive and scholarly.

march heroic characters Dr. Ilijah White, Lansford Hastings, Thomas
Fitzpatrick, Joe Meek, the Whitmans, the McLoughlins as seen through
the young eyes of Abby and Abner. But from start to finish, the greatest hero
of them all is Shep, the Collie dog. Highly entertaining yet instructive

Comment: i. This is an excellent book for the intermediate or upper grades,
It deals with Indian life about 1850 in Western Washington, with the early
life amongst the pioneer, and with their relations to each other. Bad Penny
is a young Indian Princess who becomes the heroine or central character.
Well Written.
2. Bad Penny is the story of the early settlers around Seattle, and of Pine
Lily, the daughter of an Indian Princess and a French trapper, who was
taken in and cared for by a white family. It is very well written, and por
trays the true feeling between the Indians and the whites.

Comment: Life of a migratory laborer, team-hand, teamster, lumberjack, mill-

Comment: A book of short stories of lumberjacks, freighters, longshoremen,
steamboat pilots, miners, cowhands, fishermen, sawmill hands, etc., with
scenes laid in saloons, dance halls, and on the job, but most frequently at the
bar where the drinks are being set up. The tales have to do with the fights,
drinking, gambling and labor of these brutal, profane, hairy, vigorous,
swearing, battling, drunken, brawny men. They have an indisputable air
of reality and rather less of exaggeration than some of the author's other
tales. There are also those sly touches of satire which add a gleam of humor.
Personally I am inclined to rate this as Stevens' best piece of work.

2. Tales of the legendary hero of the logging camps, marked by extreme

an air of naivete and earnestness, which lends charm.

Comment: An interesting mystery story written in a lightsome vein, carefully
worked out as to motive and sequence of events. Good characterization. The
scene of the crime (which consists of four deaths occurring in rather rapid
succession) is well set in a private camp on the shores of a Lake Memaloose
(meaning death) in the middle of a Nevada desert. The author has thought
out the setting carefully and has used the chief factor, that of isolation, to
good advantage. Would appeal most to those who like their mysteries enter
taining rather than horrifying, who prefer action with an occasional surprise
turn in the sequence of events rather than too much theorizing over motives
and so forth.

Comment: This is an account of the author's visit to Hankow, and surround
ing provinces during revolutionary troubles in 1927. After a sojourn in these
provinces, she goes westward with Borodin across the Mongolian desert and
returns by way of Siberia to Europe. Her experiences in interior China are
also recorded. The style of the book is journalistic. The author is strongly
sympathetic with communist Russia and with the Chinese revolutionary
movement. This sympathy no doubt colors her work. The work may cease
to have any value in a few years. At the present time, however, it should be
read with much interest by college and some high school students for the his

have visited Glacier Park.
4. History of the park and National Park Service, illustrated with color

Comment: Pacific coast legends of Paul Bunyan, mythical lumberjack and one
of the few folklore heroes of modern American origin. At the time this book
was published, the author was teaching at the University of Oregon and the
stories were collected by her students. The book was fittingly illustrated by
many linoleum cuts made by students in design at the same institution, under
the ^ direction of Miss Helen N. Rhodes, of the Dept. of Architecture and
Allied Arts. This is the first book ever devoted entirely to a recounting of
the exploits of Paul Bunyan. An edition, with some additions, was published
in 1928 by Houghton, Mifflin Co.

Comment^ Paul Bunyan symbolizes an especially American theme, the evolu
tion of industry and the character of the American workman. Every tale has
a symbolic meaning, as in all authentic mythology, and every character is a
type personality except Paul himself, who is a composite of the characteristics
of the American Workman. Only authentic tales, those vouched for as "hav
ing sense"^ by the creators of the tales themselves, are included. The author
has been in contact with the legends since childhood and is uniquely fitted
to be a mouthpiece for the tales.

his writing of homely topics.

2. Mr. Tweedy has written a group of thirty-five poems that are neither

life is a struggle, a battle, and defeat unless you strive every minute for

whole are quite simple.

Comment: "This book is not a biography in the usual sense: it is a portrait,
a psychograph" of a very real Jenny Lind. Through a study of the woman
in her art life and personal life, the author finds the mainspring of her char
acter in her religion, which led her to abandon the operatic stage at the
height of her career. Although the book shows enormous research, it is not
oppressively erudite.

Comment: A brief discussion of the art of Lillian Gish. The author finds her
a great actress because she has fineness of feeling and deep understanding of
her characters. She creates faithful, living personalities. Quite aside from
the discussion of ^Lillian Gish, the essay suggests some of the basic principles
of true art in acting.

Comment: A "psychograph" based on the method used by Gamaliel Bradford,

Each aspect has been treated with the fairness that comes from a true

2. "Built ^up from a study of his writings, records of his conversations,

a Mark Twain whose thoughts on vital subjects seem to reach out even to

comprehensive view of the experiences and emotions of a teacher of litera
ture, ^aiming to make us aware of critical theory and to help us in con
structing our own literary judgments.
2. There are certain basic standards of judgment as to what makes one
work superior or inferior to another. What literature is, why we read it, how
to judge a book, realism and romance, literature and morality, the building
of a library these are among the subjects treated.

Comment: A collection of stories of pioneer Oregon by an Oregon author,
who, as a boy, had crossed the plains with his parents. An interesting account
of this journey forms the preface of the book. The tales which follow are
based upon events taken from his life in the new country, and are capital
adventure stories convincingly told. The simplicity and excellence of the

Comment: i. This is a genuinely interesting book, rather loosely organized,
but held together by the story of Plenty Coups, Crow hero. One is inevita
bly touched at the nobility of the magnificent Crow Chief and in this volume
he is alive as in no other narrative. Extracts from the Journal of Dr. Allen
give added point to the story from time to time, and the relationship be
tween the Chief and his white brother increases the strength of work.
2. Blankets and Moccasins is a book which Montanans should find most
interesting. It is based on Dr. Allen's journal in which he recorded informa
tion gained through his intimate friendship with members of the Crow tribe.
The Indian lore contained in Blankets and Moccasins is intriguing.

Comment: i. A forest fire alters the lives and perspectives of a group of
"dudes" on a pack trip in the Montana mountains, burning away the veneer
and allowing them to see the stark reality about themselves. The world con
flagration is to a certain extent symbolically presented in the shape of the
fire, since the fire shows the American characters the state of rnind of an
American refugee who is in the party.
2. Entertaining, well plotted study of reaction of characters to greet peril
of forest fire. Three Easterners, a foreign refugee scientist, and a mountain-
born man, educated in the East, reveal themselves under the stress of danger.
Heroism, meanness, loyalty, bewilderment keep the plot spinning.
3. In search of new experiences (physical and spiritual), three men and
two women undertake a pack trip into the mountains. To add to the excite
ment, a tremendous forest fire springs up in which the men participate while
the women wait in fear and perplexity. This crisis serves to heighten and
resolve certain inward questionings which have harassed especially one of
the group, John Davis, the New York banker, who is spending his vacation
in Montana, his childhood home. This narrative is dramatic both physically
and psychologically, compactly written, as it is, by a skilled craftsman.

Comment: i. A story of an Alaskan tundra. The book portrays the elemental
passion jind brute force of a primitive people. It is a stark, gripping story of
two natives, Taliak and Akpek, who fight for the possession of a woman. It
has no place on a home-reading list.
2. In this simple story the reindeer and their herdsmen are all the world,
for the life of the herd almost absorbs the life of the herdsman, even to his
simple Jove story. This is a novel one remembers as filled with gorgeous
word pictures of grass, snow, freshets, and their meaning to one who lives in
and through them.

Comment: i. The splendid courage and unquenchable hope of foreigners on
our mid-west farm lands in 1898 and after, are simply and vividly portrayed
in the lives of Peter Grimsen and his family as they struggle to adjust them
selves to a new way of life among strangers speaking a strange tongue.
Locale, Nebraska.
2. A story of early days in Nebraska. Sadly marred with profanity and
moral references. (Why do authors feel that they must be faithful to the
dialogue of that community only in the profane and vulgar?) Characters
well drawn, fairly good plot situations. Realistic.

family in Nebraska, this book convincingly and feelingly portrays the econo
mic struggle of the mid-western farmer. Staggering under burdens too heavy
to bear, Peter, the father, loves his land with an undying passion, and strove
to keep his sons strong and unbroken in spirit.
2. The third of a series of novels depicting the struggle of a family of
Danish immigrants in Nebraska, Peter Grimsen dies as the farm is sold for
the mortgage, but his courageous wife and son, Hans, plan to meet life anew.
An honest picture of farm struggle in that era.

2. Strikingly keen and clever satire on many of our most cherished insti

minded orthodox reader will be incensed at Mr. Wood for daring ^to dis
agree with him. But the orthodox person of more liberal tendencies^ will gain
wisdom by viewing his sacred fetishes through the eyes of this serious^ keen,

2. These sixty-one lyric poems on man's inability to see infinity in little

with nostalgic, color words and flexible syncopation. Interest, lessened by

2. . A poem which received the Pulitzer Prize, 1934. It contains seven
poems, a prologue and an epilogue, depicting the lives of seven sons who

inheritance.

ZILLMAN, LAWRENCE JOHN (Washington; birth and pr. res.):
John Keats and the Sonnet Tradition; Lymanhouse, Los Angeles,
1939
Rec. Sr. C. Jr. Sen. Gr.

Sp. R.
Comment: i. This is a readable book for anyone who has done serious work
with the sonnet. Verse writers and advanced students of verse forms will
find in it a wealth of basic information on the development of the quatorzain
in English and some vital matter concerning the development of John Keats.
It is not a book for beginners. Technical and critical.
2,. No other poet has been so much studied in recent years as Keats.
Professor Zillman does not claim for Keats' sonnets the significance of the
odes. But he finds the study of the poet's verse-craft particularly fascinating
in these "unpruned" examples; he sees the making of sonnets as a "technical
apprenticeship" for the more enduring work.

NORTHWEST MAGAZINE BIBLIOGRAPHY
The following bibliography is selective. The contribution of some of
the more prolific writers has been limited to productions of the last ten
years or less. Abbreviations of months, dates, and titles are those em
ployed by The Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature, which through
out has been the chief standard determining the acceptability of an au
thor's work. Contributions to certain regional periodicals not listed in
The Readers' Guide have also been included, such, for instance, as The
Frontier and Midland (V I, 1920 suspended publication V 19, Sum
mer 1939), Seeing Idaho (VI, 1922, suspended publication, 1939),
The Lariat (V I, 1922, suspended publication, 1928). The first of
these periodicals is abbreviated F & M and only those writers in it who
have two or more contributions to their credit are listed. The letters
I, O, W, M, in parentheses after an author's name indicate the state
(Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Montana) in which he was born or with
which he has been connected as a former or present resident. For full
reference consult the author index. If the literary type of any particular
contribution is not indicated, it is understood to be an essay, article, or
sketch; otherwise the descriptive words: poem, story, or novel are ap
pended. Starred names are ones represented in the list of book reviews.
