Omaha: The Woodson Press, 1956. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Velvet covered stiff card. Format is approximately 5.5 inches by 8.5 inches. [14], 38, [8] pages. RARE. This is believed to be the true first edition. A subsequent edition was published in 1961 by the Big Mountain Press. Signed by the author at the bottom of the title page. Illustration. Alice Troxell McCoun did etching, painting, and illustration, which had such wide public appeal that her name became known far beyond her hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. In a realist style, she depicted sentimental themes such as family life, nature, love of pets, and religious piety. Many of her images, often accompanied by verses, were especially popular with children. However, Alice, who lived to age 76, spent only the first half of her adult life as a dedicated artist and illustrator. In 1939, she won a gold medal for the best poem from Nebraska at the New York World’s Fair, and in 1943, she wrote a collection of poems, which was published in England in 1943. Like much of her artwork, these had romanticized themes such as Arabesque, which was set to music in England and published in the Omaha World-Herald, January 3, 1943: "Just a gray little sparrow that hopped in the snow, First this way-then that way-the row upon row, He kept adding new marks as he covered the space, Till they made, altogether most beautiful lace, Now I wonder if we, with as unconscious ease, Can leave traces of love half as tender as these."

John Bach McMaster (June 29, 1852 – May 24, 1932) was an American historian. McMaster was born in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from the College of the City of New York in 1872, worked as a civil engineer in 1873–1877, was instructor in civil engineering at Princeton University in 1877–1883, and in 1883 became professor of American history in the University of Pennsylvania.

He began working on it in 1873, having collected material since 1870. His A School History of the United States (1897) was an extremely popular textbook for many years. Besides these books and numerous magazine articles, he published Benjamin Franklin as a Man of Letters in the "Men of Letters" series (Boston, 1887). His historical work differed from standard practice in that it departed from an exclusively political focus to delve into social history and the lives of ordinary people and also in its use of newspapers as sources.
