Note 48 — VI.
Reading edition
Page 28.—Mrs. Mary Hartwell Catherwood, whose home is in Hoopeston, Ill., has so far written and published the following admirable romances of the old days of New France and Acadie:
"The Romance of Dollard." Illustrated. New York, 1889, 12mo.
"The Story of Tonty." Illustrated. Chicago, 1890, 16mo.
"The Lady of Fort St. John." Boston and New York, 1891, 16mo.
"Old Kaskaskia: An Historical Novel of Early Illinois." Boston and New York, 1893, 16mo.
She has now commenced in 'The Century' Magazine a new romance with the title, "The White Islander," a story of old Fort Michillimackinac, and in 'The Atlantic Monthly' another story, "The Chase of Saint Castin." Her romances are never long, but bear the impress of close study of the subject and of much careful writing.
