12mo, doth, decorative, with six full-page illustrations byH. T. Carpenter. $1.50
A really great American novel of the Civil War, which will appealwith equal force to-day to the Southern as well as to the Northernreader. The title is, of course, suggested by Mrs. Howe's line,--
"He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored."
The story is developed from the fortunes, amid the vicissitudes of war,of an old New Jersey family, one son of which had settled in Virginia,becoming a general in Lee's army. There is little fighting and no cheapheroics in the book, but it gives a clearer picture and a more intimateand impressive understanding of what the great struggle really meantto Unionist and to Confederate alike than many a military history.
