Fictional accounts of historical figures.

The story of three generations of Apley men, a story of the maturing of America, a story of the golden era of American security from 1866 to 1933. It is a fascinating, warm, witty and delightful story.

"Harshly realistic, it portrayed, in a rather colorless but easygoing style, the hopeless lives of men and women in two midwestern prairie towns."--BookRags.
