A prosperous family loses everything, and the daughter goes out to work in a New York shop — where the hours, the standing and the manager between them do what the fire could not. Roe was a Presbyterian minister and a chaplain at Gettysburg who turned novelist after the Chicago fire and outsold every American of his decade; this 1881 novel is his attack on shop conditions and on the opium the doctors handed out for exhaustion.

A widower with a farm needs a housekeeper, and a girl with nowhere to go needs a roof; they marry as a business arrangement, on terms, with the terms stated. Roe was a Presbyterian minister who had been a chaplain at Gettysburg and turned novelist after the Chicago fire; he outsold every American novelist of the 1870s, and the farming here is as carefully done as the courtship.

New York, 1863: a girl who takes nothing on faith, three men in love with her, and the Draft Riots — five days in which the city tore itself apart and the mob hunted black New Yorkers through the streets. Roe was a Presbyterian minister and a chaplain at Gettysburg who turned novelist after the Chicago fire; he outsold every American novelist of his decade, and the riot chapters here are eyewitness history.

A rich man's son loses everything and takes work in Chicago as a hand — and then, in October 1871, the city burns for three days. Roe was a Presbyterian minister and a chaplain at Gettysburg who came to see the ruins, decided the fire needed a novelist, and wrote his first book about it; it sold enormously and he never went back to the pulpit. The fire is eyewitness reporting.
