This short novel, originally published in the 1918 collection Gold and Iron, features the title character’s struggle from poverty to becoming the greatest iron master in Pennsylvania. A contemporary review in the New York Evening Post called it ‘a model of compression in both telling and portraiture.’

A propos de l’auteur
Joseph Hergesheimer (1880–1954) initially hoped to be a painter, but eventually turned to writing. His study of painting is thought to have informed the pictorial details in his fiction. Admired by H. L. Mencken, Hergesheimer’s reputation wavered – from being voted “most important American writer” in 1922 to being almost unknown at the time of his death. He is best remembered for the novels Three Black Pennies and Java Head.
