The Pit

The Pit by Frank Norris

The Pit by Frank Norris

The Trilogy of The Epic of the Wheat includes the following novels:
THE OCTOPUS,, a Story of California.
THE PIT, a Story of Chicago.
THE WOLF, a Story of Europe.
These novels, while forming a series, will be in no way connected with each other save only in their relation to (1) the production, (2) the distribution, (3) the consumption of American wheat. When complete, they will form the story of a crop of wheat from the time of its sowing as seed in California to the time of its consumption as bread in a village of Western Europe.
The first novel, “The Octopus,” deals with the war between the wheat grower and the Railroad Trust; the second, “The Pit,” is the fictitious narrative of a “deal” in the Chicago wheat pit; while the third, “The Wolf,” will probably have for its pivotal episode the relieving of a famine in an Old World community.

Captain Cook

Captain Cook by Walter Besant

Captain Cook by Walter Besant

James Cook, British explorer, navigator, cartographer, and captain in the Royal Navy was the son of a farm laborer. Apprenticed to a grocer, he ran away to sea. He saw hard service in the Baltic as a merchant seaman, while applying himself to the study of mathematics, navigation, and astronomy. In 1755 he volunteered for the Royal Navy, working his way up to captain. This little biography by Walter Besant, chronicles Cook’s three voyages of discovery and his violent death in Hawaii. Cook replaced vague mythology with accurate observations of people and places, animals and plants. Of his achievements Besant writes, “We seek St. Brendan’s Island and Terra Australis Incognita; and we find New Zealand and Cape Horn, the Continent of Australia, and the great Pacific Ocean, studded with islands as the firmament is studded by the stars.
