Marietta Holley (1836-1926) wrote humorous novels of the satirically insightful Samantha Allen and her foolish husband. Excerpt:'Twilight on the broad ocean! Smooth, wild waste of blue-gray waters stretchin'out as fur as the eye could reach on every side. In the east a silvery moon hangin'low and a shinin'path leadin'up to it. In the west Mars a-dazzlin'bright over a pale pink sky, with streaks of yeller and crimson a-layin'stretched acrost it, like bars put up by angel hands a-fencin'in their world from ourn.' |
