Eben Holden – A Tale of the North Country

Description

Since Irvin Bacheller was born in Pierrepont, New York, his ability to fully identify with the story of Eben Holden, set in the same area becomes a thing of magic. Published in 1900, the novel gained instant favor and popularity, selling more than 125,000 copies in the first four months alone, and being counted among the top four bestselling novels of the year.

Eben Holden – A Tale of the North Country, is the story of the struggles and challenges that the first settlers had to face in the area now known as the northern region of New York. An exciting story about survival and the bond between family, as well as a well-designed depiction of the natural landscape of the region penned in a distinguished style that very few other authors have been capable of, Eben Holden was a must-read for anyone who hoped to consider themselves well-read at the beginning of the 20th century and continues to be regarded as an excellent classic today.

The novel tells the tale of a young boy and his uncle in their struggle to survive the harshness of the northern regions and their ability to rely on their own ingenuity, trust and strength of character in order to deal with the difficulties that life had set before them.

Although it is initially seen by many as a story about the local region of Pierrepont and one that would more likely attract the interest of historians, rather than casual readers, Eben Holden may surprise you from the very first pages you read.

This outstanding work of literary art brings together a dramatic plot line, complex characters and many unexpected turns of events to delight and thrill readers of all ages. Whether you want to read about the challenges that early settlers have faced, or you just want an interesting and exciting story to brighten your day and inspire you, Eben Holden – A Tale of the North Country will exceed your expectations, and offer you a truly remarkable reading experience.
