the major literary events of 1948.Our five judges were impressed with its unusual qualities.Like such famousbooks-of-the-month as Gone With the Wind and Anthony Adverse,it islong,full,rich with historical incident and characterization.It is a storyof Midwestern youth growing up in the Civil War period and afterward...\"the author's analysis,\"says Dorothy Canfield,\"of how an idealisticyoung American felt about the Civil War confirms what my parents alwaystold me.”John Marquand calls it\"a fine picture of America,of the drives,the hopes and the tragedies that have made our country great.”CliftonFadiman remarks especially on\"its warm feeling for the very core ofMidwestishness,\"and Henry Canby,who reports in full on the book,says:“”There may be more classical,more profound novels published this year,but certainly none more remarkable.”  \n(RETAIL PRICE$3·75)  \n# The Book-Dividend for DECEMBER &JANUARY\n\nA TREASURY OFShort Stories  \nFavorites of the past hun-dred

Raintree Countyis the story of American youth as it wasformed in the days of the old Republicwhich was transformed in the Civil War intosomething far bigger,but not necessarily bet-ter.It is American youth growing up fromthe 184o's to the 18go's.  \nWhat is its locale?Indiana,the hcartlandof America.I am a born and bred Easternermyself,but this novel makes me understandbetter than any history why the Middle Westhas been the pulse of the United States.Butthe story goes wherever the Indiana boys andgirls wentto Ncw York,to New Orleans,toWashington,on Sherman's march throughGeorgia,and ever home again and again toRaintree County.Yet the whole scope ofthis extensive novel is contained in one dayin 1892,when Waycross'favorite son andpolitical hero comes back to Waycross for amemorial
