A review from The Bookman, Vol. 18 [1903]:IT was about five years ago that Mr. Charles Major, an Indiana lawyer with little previous literary experience, but a very good background in the way of careful historical study and conscientious research, published "When Knighthood Was in Flower," under the name of Edwin Caskoden, and straightway became one of the most talked about novelists of the country. That was the beginning of the era of great sales, and Knighthood speedily took its place with David Harum and Richard Camel. In the list of Six Best Selling Books which is printed in the back of this magazine it appeared for fourteen consecutive months, establishing a new record. Some persons could not see anything in the book, and the very critical ones found much with which to find fault, but the general reading public frankly liked it. "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall" succeeded Knighthood and fell short of the popularity which attended that book. The second venture seemed theatrical and one could see the hand of the man whose mind was on stage mechanics. And yet Dorothy Vernon has an attractive personality and the story of her adventures has entertained many readers who do not ask too much of that type of novel. Now, in "A Forest Hearth," Mr. Major has left behind kings and queens, and lords and ladies, and English castles. He has put aside, for the time being at least, the Julia Marlowe or Bertha Galland type of star-heroine, and he has come back to matter of fact Indiana-the Indiana of the thirties. Stripped of the trappings and theatrical properties of the historical romance, Mr. Major has written a book which might be classed as a juvenile. The sentimental young woman of sixteen or thereabouts may find enjoyment in it. It is all so simple, this love of Rita Bays for Dic Bright. It began when they were mere children, and the engagement was secretly entered into one day as they sat swinging themselves on a log and talking over a kissing-game party. of the Books Books ~~ Literary Collections~~ General forest-hearth-a-romance-of-Indiana-in-the-thirties~~Charles-Major Literary Licensing LLC<
