Description: THIS book is one of the two or three high points in Mr. Hergesheimer's career. It is a novel of American life and industry from colonial to modern times. It tells the story of three dark men of the Penny family; three men, and yet, in youth, middle and old age, one man and one unbroken narrative. There are, too, primarily, three women — Ludowika, a passionate woman, Susan Brundon, a spiritual woman, and Mariana, in whom both passion and spirit meet and are interpreted in a smiling disdain of petty prejudices. The story proceeds against the developing background of steel, from the primitive iron forges and furnaces of the Province of Pennsylvania to the gigantic mills of today. It is, however, concerned with no purpose but that of human happiness. In detail it is the story of the incalculable effects, through a century and a half, of a heedless and overwhelming love: there is great possession, retribution, and a wreath of victory.

Knopf, Inc., New York. Editions for the Armed Services, Inc., a non-profit organization established by the Council on Books in Wartime
