John Fox Jr
The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come
NY: Charles Scribner's Sons 1903. Very Rare Book. Another indicator of it's rarity is the name of the Publisher. Publisher is Grosset & Dunlap of New York.<b>Grosset & Dunlap</b> is a United States book publisher founded in 1898. Book is in tack. Will need some restoration. Imaging finding a book from the late 1800 with a love note dedicating this book to Miss Carrie Duke. Rare edition thus. Hardcover. Orig. spine that is intact but needs restoration. Front and back cover intact. I searched the internet intensively and found pictures of first editions HOWEVER none of them had the love dedication note or the black trim around the title of the book. Information on Miss Carrie Duke listed below:Woman's Work in Kentucky." by Mrs. Eugenia Dunlap Potts. <br />Publication: Eagle Mary Kavanaugh Oldham ed. The Congress of Women: Held in the Woman's Building World's Columbian Exposition Chicago U. S. A. 1893. Chicago Ill: Monarch Book Company 1894. pp. 562-568.<br /><br />Susannah Hart the aunt of Mrs. Henry Clay raised and pulled the flax which she wove and spun into her wedding gown with an art so clever that she could draw the width through her wedding ring. She belonged to the wealthiest of those early families of note and was the wife of Gov. Isaac Shelby. She died at the age of seventy-two years at "Travelers' Rest" the grand old homestead which has never passed out of the Shelby family. She was the mother of ten children and her descendants are widely scattered. Mary Hopkins Cabell Breckinridge was a contemporary whose work can never die. Hers were not deeds of daring nor of tragic from the lurking Indian. Her power was in her eloquent conversation her strong opinions her decided views of duty. Her sons are orators and statesmen; her daughters are ambitious and progressive. Margaret Breckinridge a granddaughter devoted heart and hands to hospital work during the war of the Blue and the Grey; and by her gentle self-sacrificing ministering was named the "Angel of the hospitals." She said "Shall men die by thousands for their country and no woman risk her life" Still a younger generation is led by Miss Sophronisba Breckinridge who after years of travel in Europe studied law in her father's office. Mrs. Catherine Hunt the chatelaine of one of Lexington's proud homes reigned a queen in her domain. The train of servants the management of her handsome estate and all the demands upon the mistress of such possessions called for executive ability of rare degree. Hers was the thinking head and the guiding hand. The Baroness Burdett Coutts says: "Woman may be allowed to lead in acts of charity" and right nobly has she set this example. This woman Mrs. Hunt used her prerogative here. Sixty-one years ago when cholera wellnigh depopulated the Blue Grass capital she went forth on pious mission bent. Coming upon three desolate little children whose parents lay dead she said to a friend: "What shall we do with them Let us buy them a home." She opened her purse and established the Orphans' Home Lexington's oldest charitable institution where many little feet have found a resting place. Mrs. Henrietta Hunt Morgan was her daughter and the Hon. Francis Kay Hunt of legal celebrity was her worthy son. Mrs. Morgan presided over her household much after the manner of her bringing up. She was the mother of a remarkable family. Her sons were Gen. John Hunt Morgan Col. Calvin Morgan Capt. Charlton Hunt Morgan and Lieut. Thomas Morgan. Her daughters were the wives of Gen. A. P. Hill and of Gen. Basil W. Duke. Behold the evolution of the Kentucky girl if I may so term the greater liberty of today! Mrs. Henrietta Morgan Duke of Louisville Ky. one of our commissioners is a woman of incomparable qualities of heart and brain. She reflects the grandmother and mother in strength of character and in executive ability. Times have changed and she has risen to the demands. Her young daughter <b>Miss Carrie Duke</b> the violin virtuoso represents the fourth generation of this family. The ancient code would have held her captive but the liberty of the present sent her abroad to develop the divine genius that now sways multitudes. Another young descendant of Mrs. Hunt is Miss Lucy Lee Hill a World's Fair Commissioner who bravely and briskly went about the work of collecting exhibits; faithfully she has presided at the state building. Yet another great-granddaughter is Miss Eleanor Howard Morgan daughter of Capt. Charlton Morgan who entered Bryn Mawr College where her scientist brother Dr. Thomas Morgan holds the chair of biology. This young girl perfectly illustrates the fact that developing a woman's brain does not necessarily rob her of feminine charm. No lily of the valley breathing its delicate fragrance far below the gaze of man is more modestly environed; yet her influence pervades all the atmosphere about her. She inherits not the dash of her uncle the <b>cavalry chief</b> but the steady glow of woman's star when lit by the brilliancy of intellectual fire<br /><br />Since I don't have a true value of this book it may be priceless. I have decided to start at $5000.00. Grosset & Dunlap hardcover

John Fox, Jr; N C Wyeth
The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come
E-235: Charles Scribner's Sons. Very Good. 1931. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Vellum. 8vo. Charles Scribner's Sons New York. 1931. 322 pgs. Illustrated with 15 tipped in Color Plates. #391 of a limited edition of 512 copies. Signed by N C Wyeth on the limitation page. Bound in 1/2 vellum and blue cloth boards with titles present to the front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. This powerful novel is one of the most perceptive tellings of the Civil War experience. This book is more than the moving story of a Kentucky mountain boy who fights to save the Union. Even the Civil War itself is but an epic stage for the novel's main business--the testing and maturation of a hero as American as Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer. Newell Convers Wyeth October 22 1882 October 19 1945 known as N. C. Wyeth was an American artist and illustrator. He was the pupil of artist Howard Pyle and became one of America's greatest illustrators. During his lifetime Wyeth created over 3000 paintings and illustrated 112 books 25 of them for Scribner's the Scribner Classics which is the work for which he is best known. The first of these Treasure Island was one of his masterpieces and the proceeds paid for his studio. Wyeth was a realist painter just as the camera and photography began to compete with his craft. Sometimes seen as melodramatic his illustrations were designed to be understood quickly. Wyeth who was both a painter and an illustrator understood the difference and said in 1908 "Painting and illustration cannot be mixedone cannot merge from one into the other." EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 322 pages; Signed by Illustrator . Charles Scribner's Sons hardcover
