Clara Moreland is truly a celebrated work. It has been running through the
columns of “The Saturday Evening Post,” where it has been appearing for the last
twelve weeks, and has proved itself to be one of the most popular works that has ever
appeared in the columns of any newspaper in this country. Before it was half completed,
the back numbers (although Twelve Thousand extra of each number were printed,)
could not be obtained at any price, and the Publishers of the “Post” were forced to issue
a Supplement sheet of the first half of it for new subscribers to their paper, which induced
the present publisher to make an arrangement with the popular author, to bring it out
in a beautiful style for the thousands in this country that wish it in book form.
It is purely an American Book, and one of those interesting and beautiful American
Stories, in which the Publisher in its announcement feels it a pleasing duty to say one
word of its popular and talented author.
Emerson Bennett, as an Author, is well known throughout the United States; and
in the great West, and far extended Southern countries his writings are recognized as
“Household Words”—ever welcome guests in the comfortable cabin of the Western
Woodsman or at the parlor fireside of the busy Town Merchant
His glowing and truthful descriptions of Wild Western Scenes — his home-like
familiarity with the untaught manners and singular customs of the Indian Tribes of
the Far West—his exquisite delineations of male and female character—of character
civilized and of character savage—his bold and artistic sketches in the dark and shadowy
wilderness, or on the broad and untrodden Prairie—all acknowledge his dominion in
this field of literature, and that Bennett now holds undisputed sway in this species of
American Story.
“We consider this altogether the best fiction which Mr. Bennett has yet written. In
saying this, we pay him the highest possible compliment, as he has long been one of the
most popular of American Novelists. His publisher has done every thing that was
possible to add to the public desire for the work, having issued it in a very handsome
style, so that its dress might not disgrace its merits. Clara Moreland is destined to have
an immense sale.”
