Description
Frank H. Spearman, author of Whispering Smith and Robert Kimberly, wrote The Mountain Divide, printed in 1912 by Charles Scribner's Sons of New York with pictures by Armand Both. It opens in a large, roughly framed public waiting-room, lit by hanging kerosene lamps, where a door leads to the agent's office. A picture shows Buck watching as a second Indian strikes a club down.
Spearman writes a railroad and mountain novel of the West, where the divide itself tests men and loyalties. The story, inscribed without love, is nonetheless lovingly told, as its dedication says. Readers of railroad and western fiction will find a strong, atmospheric novel from Spearman's prime.
