I picked this up because I was reading a biography of John Hay and thought it would be fun to read his novel, which made quite a stir when it was first published. It definitely did shed some light on Hay's mindset, and there are quite a few lines and moments that are unintentionally very entertaining for a modern reader, but I can't say I was left feeling like it's a terrible thing that the book is so little read these days.
If you're really interested in John Hay or in class conflict in show more 19th century Ohio from the perspective of the wealthy, this is worth taking a look at. Otherwise you can probably leave it on the shelf without missing out on too much... show less
