Sketches in Duneland
( About the Book In historical fiction the plot is set in...)
About the Book In historical fiction the plot is set in the past, and pays attention to the manners, social conditions and other details of the period portrayed. Some authors choose to include famous historical figures in their fictional plots, so that audiences can imagine how those individuals might have responded to the plots and environments established by the author. The Western literary component of this genre is founded in the early 19th century works of such authors as Sir Walter Scott, Honoré de Balzac, James Fenimore Cooper, and Leo Tolstoy. Also in this Book Our offering includes memoirs, or collections of memories that individuals have written about moments or events, both public or private, that took place in their lives. While the assertions made in these works are generally taken to be factual, the biases or perspectives of the authors are often present. Historically, memoirs have been defined as a subcategory of biography or autobiography, however the genre is differentiated in form, since it presents a narrower focus. While a biography or autobiography tells the story "of a life", a memoir generally tells the story "from a life", tending to emphasize touchstone events and turning points in the author's life experience. The authors are referred to as memoirists or memorialists. About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades. While these books may have occasional imperfections, we consider that only hand checking of every page ensures readable content without poor picture quality, blurred or missing text etc. That's why we: • republish only hand checked books; • that are high quality; • enabling readers to see classic books in original formats; that • are unlikely to have missing or blurred pages. You can search "Leopold Classic Library" in categories of your interest to find other books in our extensive collection. Happy reading!

Earl Howell Reed
Edit ProfileEducation
He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, taking up etching as a pastime, which in his later years became an absorbing vocation.
Career
Until middle life he followed a business career.
He built a country home in the dune-country on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, where the picturesque surroundings - miles of billowy, wind-blown wastes of sand - appealed to the artist in him, and their historic associations, to his love of romance.
He made a set of etchings of the Field Museum and Jackson Park, Chicago, which are of historic value. In 1914 he published Etching, A Practical Treatise, a valuable work on the subject.
He was mainly responsible for the existence of the Chicago Society of Etchers, established in 1910, and was its first president.
Achievements
-
The frontispiece of The Dune Country is one of his most exquisite etchings of the dunes - gnarled trees, windblown clouds, and the hills in the distance. In "The Tryst, " a black bird perched upon a bough is waiting expectant, and in "The Homing Call" a flock of ducks are flying over the marshes, while a heavy storm broods in the background. A feeling for design is felt in all his work. His etched portraits of some old Indians are also noteworthy. Of "Waukena" (in The Silver Arrow), a rugged Indian woman's face, with a grim and lofty reserve, he said: "The features were those of a mother of warriors. " His etching "The Edge of the Forest" was exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1912, with several of the Dune series; he exhibited in the principal cities of the United States, and his work is represented in the permanent collections of the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, the Toledo Museum of Art, the Detroit Museum of Art, the Art Institute, Chicago, the St. Louis Museum of Art, and many private galleries.
