[The Uphill Climb by B. M. Bower]@TWC D-Link bookThe Uphill Climb CHAPTER XVII 14/39
If the book had nothing in it but the splendid figure of this man, with his sure grip on life, his superb optimism, and his almost miraculous knowledge of nature secrets, it would be notable.
But when the Girl comes to his "Medicine Woods," and the Harvester's whole sound, healthy, large outdoor being realizes that this is the highest point of life which has come to him--there begins a romance, troubled and interrupted, yet of the rarest idyllic quality. _FRECKLES._ Decorations by E.Stetson Crawford Freckles is a nameless waif when the tale opens, but the way in which he takes hold of life; the nature friendships he forms in the great Limberlost Swamp; the manner in which everyone who meets him succumbs to the charm of his engaging personality; and his love-story with "The Angel" are full of real sentiment. _A GIRL OF THE LIMBERLOST._ Illustrated by Wladyslaw T.Brenda. The story of a girl of the Michigan woods; a buoyant, lovable type of the self-reliant American.
Her philosophy is one of love and kindness towards all things; her hope is never dimmed.
And by the sheer beauty of her soul, and the purity of her vision, she wins from barren and unpromising surroundings those rewards of high courage. It is an inspiring story of a life worth while and the rich beauties of the out-of-doors are strewn through all its pages. _AT THE FOOT OF THE RAINBOW._ Illustrations in colors by Oliver Kemp. Design and decorations by Ralph Fletcher Seymour. The scene of this charming, idyllic love story is laid in Central Indiana.
The story is one of devoted friendship, and tender self-sacrificing love; the friendship that gives freely without return, and the love that seeks first the happiness of the object.
