This chronologically selected anthology of fiction by eight Ohio women makes accessible a literary tradition that begins with lost aspects of frontier life in the 1830s depicted by contemporaries Julia L. Dumont and Pamilla W. Ball. It ends with Jessie Brown Pounds s retrospective recreation of the Western Reserve s frontier culture at the century s close. "

In her fiction, Jessie Brown Pounds preserved the flavor of Ohio s rural village culture as the nineteenth century drew to a close. This anthology rediscovers Pounds s varied works and reminds modern students that Middle-Western culture included women writers as social critics and mythmakers. Included are short stories, sketches, one undated short story published posthumously in 1921, and Rachael Sylvestre, a first-person historical novel written in 1904."
