The Brick Moon and Other Stories

More about the book

Edward Everett Hale (1822-1909) was an American author and Unitarian minister. After graduating from Harvard Hale was pastor of several churches before becoming the chaplain of the U S Senate. His most famous novel was "The Man Without a Country" (1863), which strengthened the Union cause in the North. Hale employed a minute realism, which led his readers to suppose his narratives were factual. Stories in this collection include The brick moon -- Crusoe in New York -- Bread on the waters -- The lost palace -- 99 Linwood Street -- Ideals -- Thanksgiving at the polls - and The survivor's story
