Eva March Tappan's "A Friend in the Library" series is a comprehensive
guide to the writings of six seminal American writers, including Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, James
Russell Lowell, John Greenleaf Whittier, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. In
her second volume she explores the various different places these
writers travelled to and wrote about. This book is highly recommend for
those with an interest in American literature, history, and culture. Eva
March Tappan (1854 - 1930) was an American author and teacher. Other
notable works by this author include: "Adventures & Achievements"
(1900), "Poems & Rhymes" (1900), and "In the Days of Queen Elizabeth"
(1902). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and
expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume
now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a
specially-commissioned new biography of the author. This book was first
published in 1909.
