Cutchogue, New York: Buccaneer Books, Inc., 1996. 280 Pages. Green boards with gold spine lettering and decoration and in brand new condition. Interior text pages are bright, tight, and white. This is 1996 reprint of the 1940 copyright. The Handsome Road ends in 1882. In the spring of that year the Mississippi River was higher than it had ever been before, and in many places there were devastating floods like the one young Fred Upjohn saw when his levee broke. But the crash of the levees in 1882 had a good result, for it brought about the beginning of the modern efficient national system of flood control. Fred was not the only boy who made up his mind that year that when he grew up he would find some way to boss that river. This Side of Glory begins thirty years later, in 1912, two years before the start of .the First World War. Fred Upjohn has become a levee contractor. These levee builders are men who know the river as they know their own homes. They contract with the national government to build the levees and keep them in repair, so the river, when swollen by the melting snows from the North, will not overflow to wreck the fields. A levee is an artificial embankment built to reinforce the natural bank of the river. Protection of the land along the river was becoming more and more important, for in the main this was cotton land, and cotton was vital to the economy of the United States. At the start of the First World War, nearly nine-tenths of the textiles in the world were made of cotton. Cotton was the largest export of this country; and because it was necessary to people everywhere, cotton had more to do with international finance and politics than any other commodity in the world. In 1882, Denis Laroe II was a young man twenty-two years old, Fred Upjohn was fourteen. In the thirty years since then, Denis and Fred have married and had children of their own. Denis' elder son is Kester Laroe, Fred's daughter is Eleanor Upjohn. At the beginning of This Side of Glory Kester is twenty-seven years old and Eleanor twenty-two.. 1996 Reprint. Hard Back. As New/No Dust Jacket. 5 1/2" x 8"., Buccaneer Books, Inc., 1996, 6<
