Writers in the Wilderness Inspire a New Novel
Henry Oyen, aged just over thirty, left New York for Wisconsin woods after a life among table d hote talks and urban gossip. He writes of forests and lumberjacks in The Man Trail, preferring country seclusion to the city. In contrast Putnams publish works on early Christianity and empire in a new line of serious history and politics. The Alibi by George Allan England is announced, a tale of an innocent man framed and sent to Sing Sing with a dramatic escape for thrills.
