Klappentext
RURAL HOURS (1850) is one of the earliest pieces of American nature writing and the first by a woman--the daughter of James Fenimore Cooper--who reveals her ideal society as a rural one, carefully poised between the receding wilderness and a looming industrialization. This first full printing since 1876 restores passages earlier deleted.
