Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lone-Star Lights
There do not appear to be many drops of tired, venous blood creeping through this admirable collection of poems. On the contrary, a bright, arterial tide, ?ashing with true genius and pulsating with exalted poetic fervor, ?ows throughout almost every stanza. This speaks well for the lone-star State, whose daughter and ardent worshipper Mrs. Shortridge is. The refinement, strength, originality, and versatility of this authoress will be recognized at once by those who are given to the harmony of numbers when wedded to great beauty and profound thought. In a literary and artistic sense this volume is of unusual excellence, and should command wide-spread patronage.
