The Able McLaughlins

The Able McLaughlins, Scotch Covenanters, devoted to one another, deeply pious, but hu-mor-loving and full of the emotion and sentiment which exists under the craggy Scotch exterior, are leaders in a pioneer Iowa community. Isobel McLaughlin, mother of ten, and Wully, the oldest son, are characters in whom one feels the spirit and intelligence and daunt- less courage that carved out our Western States. The story is Wully's his wooing, his pride, his home building and the fine triumphant victory to which the end of the book brings him.
