  • Americans and Others - Agnes Repplier

    Americans and Others - Agnes Repplier
    2026/08/29

Though less know to modern readers, Repplier was in her prime ranked among the likes of Willa Cather. Note: Section 13 contains the word niggards. I put it in print here so that it will not be mistaken for a racial epithet when heard. (written by Mary Schneider)
