One Woman's Life

A Chicago girl of no particular gifts wants a larger life than she is equipped for and pursues it through two marriages. Herrick taught at Chicago and wrote the city's business and social machinery better than any novelist of his day. This edition carries fifty-nine plates of paintings by Edward Lamson Henry, William Merritt Chase, Jules Tavernier and William Holbrook Beard, dating from 1831 to 1924, bound with the text.
