Eben Holden's Last Day A-Fishing

"Eben Holden's Last Day A-Fishing" by Irving Bacheller is a short and nostalgic tale. It holds a bit of the philosophy of the day. At the time, people were convinced there would never be another war, which was swiftly disproven by the start of World War I. The book also has some theology elements as well which were typical of the time. All of which culminates in a sweet ending.
