THE DIXONS

A Story of American Life Through Three GenerationsBut the April sun shone down on both their houses and opened the pink chalices of hope and beauty and sent its call to the sap in the trees and the hearts in human bodies regardless of their quarrel.Already at Appomattox the doom of slavery and re bellion had been sealed and throughout the North people had gone wild with joy. Already, too, the great War President had gone to his martyrdom, and on the Dixon farm, as everywhere in the North, sadness and anxiety had followed close upon the heels of joy. But spring was making its insistent demands upon the busy hands of the farmer and its call to the heart of youth - and the world was going on its way.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
