Immortalized the Pioneers
The newspapers of the United States are handing compliments to the late Herbert Quick who has recently passed on from his brilliant career as a fiction writer to the realm of the unknown. He was to Iowa and the middle west such a chronicler of its true life as was the late Emerson Hough, who wrote the Covered Wagon and immortalized the conquerors of the far west.
Both Hough and Quick were all-round Americans, and sympathetic with the struggles of the pioneers who made this nation a reality. Their stories are clean as the winds of the prairies, wholesome and invigorating as the lives they depict, leaving no excuse for reproducing degenerate literature for American families to read.
