Our Little Women and Men Ruling the State
A mosaic of poems and stories notes children and youths under maple shade and classroom toil, then shifts to a Boston era tale about Edith Amesbury and Walter Harling foiling a gambler’s plot. Gideon Smart lures Harling to a gaming hall. Edith disguises as a youth to expose Aubrey’s scheme. Walter’s integrity wins Edith’s love and her brother’s approval. Also included are anecdotes on industry, heat, and public life in Boston and New York, from street crowds to collectors to laborers who stick and rise.
