Louisa May Alcott : her life, letters, and journals by
Louisa May Alcott(
Book
)
1 edition published in 1889 in English and held by 302 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Truly one of the most remarkable women of the nineteenth century, Alcott spent part of her childhood in an experimental Utopian community, received lessons from Henry David Thoreau and Nathaniel Hawthorne, served as a volunteer nurse during the Civil War, and became one of America's most beloved writers by penning an impressive collection of children's tales, novels, and essays. In this 1889 work, Ednah D. Cheney takes an in-depth look at Alcott's life, piecing together her biography with excerpts from her journals and personal correspondence. Alcott's journal entries, in particular, showcase her wit and sharpness with gems like "Stories simmered in my brain, demanding to be writ; but I let them simmer, knowing that the longer the divine afflatus was bottled up the better it would be."

Soldiers of fortune by
Richard Harding Davis(
Book
)
2 editions published in 1897 in English and held by 286 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
A romance of America’s nascent imperial power, Richard Harding Davis’s Soldiers of Fortune recounts the adventures of Robert Clay, a mining engineer and sometime mercenary, and Hope Langham, the daughter of a wealthy American industrialist, as they become caught up in a coup in Olancho, a fictional Latin American republic. When the coup, organized by corrupt politicians and generals, threatens the American-owned Valencia Mining Company, Clay organizes his workers and the handful of Americans visiting the mine into a counter-coup force. Written on the eve of the Spanish-American War, Soldiers of Fortune casts the young American as the dashing, hypermasculine hero of the new military and economy. A huge best-seller, the novel did its part to push the nation into war against Spain, and stands as one of the most important texts in the literature of American imperialism. The appendices, which bring together primary materials by writers and politicians such as Rebecca Harding Davis, Theodore Roosevelt, Jose Martí, Mark Twain, Herbert Spencer, and others, address such issues as social Darwinism, masculinity, and ideas of Anglo-American superiority
