The Turning of Griggsby

"The Turning of Griggsby" by Irving Bacheller is a historical romance novel set in the 20th century. Excerpt: «IT was a wonderful thing to see the way he rose and stepped forward, and stood before the people, and their cheering was like the shout of winds in a forest.» So spake our old schoolmaster, Appleton Hall, as he told us of Daniel Webster and the famous Bunker Hill address."
