Original first edition-rebound in modern pebbled black cloth with bright gilt embossing. John Esten Cooke (November 3, 1830 – September 27, 1886) was an American novelist and poet. He was the brother of poet Philip Pendleton Cooke. Born in Winchester, Virginia, he was noted for writing about that state. He illustrated Virginia life and history in the novels, The Virginia Comedians (1854) , and The Wearing of the Gray, a tale of the American Civil War, and more formally in a respected Virginia history. His style was somewhat high-flown. He was the author of The Youth of Jefferson. At his father’s urging, he studied and practiced law briefly in Richmond. He abandoned that in 1854 after his father’s death, and almost immediately became a successful novelist and prolific short story writer, eventually authoring 31 books and almost 200 published articles and poems. Text block is solidly bound with age-toned pages. The dedication page is torn, with the top edge lacking approximately one inch down from the top. The book measures approximately 5 1/2" x 7 3/4" .
