Abstract

Books in Brief

The article discusses several books. Some of them "Thirteen Days," by Jeanette Marks. This little book is an interesting and often very moving footnote. The author was one of the group of intellectuals and workers who could not witness the crucifixion of justice in Massachusetts without a final protest. The book is the record of her own experiences in the last thirteen days. It is not only a personal record but a generous tribute to the men and women engaged in the same high errand. There is a simplicity in the narrative and oftentimes a beauty which stirs one's heart with a sense of personal participation in the sorrows of those memorable days of tragedy in Massachusetts. Other books include "Portage, Wisconsin, and Other Essays," by Zona Gale. "Foreign Legionaries in the Liberation of Spanish South America," by Alfred Hasbrouck.
