Excerpt from The Victory of Allan Rutledge: A Tale of the Middle West
IN our American literature the wonderful Middle West has been strangely neglected. Few books por tray the intensely interesting drama of life that is being enacted on the fertile plains of the Mississippi and Missouri Valleys.
My book is an humble contribution to the long and noble list of American fiction which describes our modern American life. My only claim to notice is that I have endeavored to picture the throbbing life of this world in the Middle fest, where the nations of Europe are mingling to form one of the grandest types of humanity ever seen on the face of our globe.
