Publisher's Notes
First Line: "On Saturday, March 10, 1888, the weather from Maine on down to Maryland was clear and unusually warm. A few scattered clouds scuttled across the blue sky, but little else marred what was a perfect day. Families went for picnics, took carriage rides, or strolled through their neighborhoods to see the purple and yellow crocuses bursting into bloom."
