Herbert Quick lived from 1861 until 1925. He was a lawyer, but abandoned the law in 1905 to become a writer. The Hawkeye, published in 1923, is one of a series of novels depicting Midwestern life in the 19th century.
I love antique postcards because they preserve evidence of everyday life as well as celebrations and sad events. Looking at an old postcard is like holding a single piece of a puzzle; we have to imagine the rest.
I will try to put up a postcard every day. If you have a special request for a particular city or place, let me know!
