William McKendree Carleton (Oct 21, 1845-Dec 18, 1912) was an American poet from Michigan whose poems were most often about his rural life. His writings were about small-town America, country fairs, the simple life in the small village, an honest days work in the fields and farmyards that resembled nineteenth-century Lower Michigan. His works give us a valuable insight to the life and struggles of the average citizen during the post-civil war era. Carletons works are filled with beautiful engraving illustrations. They are absolutely stunning and give depth to the poems as well as a rare look into early American life. Illustrations by W. A. Rogers, Thomas Nast, H. C. Edwards, Edwin A. Abbey,C.S. reinhart, A.B. Frost, Thulstrop, Edwin Forbes, W.T. Smedley,R. Swain Gifford,H.A. Ogden, C. Carleton and others. The book measures approx. 6 3/4" X 9" Condition: The book is in great condition showing some normal shelf wear to the cloth and lettering. Light edge wear and rubbing to the corners and spine edges. The pages show some light yellowing. The boards are tight. The binding is mostly tight. No markings or torn pages. Many of the original tissue illustration coverings are intact. Overall it is in excellent condition for its age. Thank you for looking and please see my other listings, I currently have six different antique books by Will Carleton from this series.
