Description
Addison's novel Eveline Mandeville, subtitled The Horse Thief Rival, is a frontier tale from 1837. Alvin Addison also wrote The Rival Hunters. The book was issued in Cincinnati by U. P. James. Its opening chapter drops into a family quarrel over a suitor.
Eveline refuses the addresses of Willard Duffel, her father's favored match. Her father calls her refusal a vain, foolish whim. She insists she holds likes and dislikes as a right. The clash sets up a courtship conflict led by her will. The dialogue style is direct and heated. This early American novel mixes romance with frontier rivalry, as its subtitle promises.
