Eli And Sibyl Jones, Their Life And Work

By Rufus Matthew Jones

Book Overview

A vivid doorway into a changing America. Eli And Sibyl Jones, Their Life And Work opens a window on a late nineteenth century world where private virtue and public endeavour mingle. This memoir-style biography pairs intimate biographical sketches with a grounded sense of family life and work, tracing life and work themes through the intertwined fortunes of Eli and Sibyl. The book offers a clear, readable form that invites both casual readers and those gathering material for family histories. It reads with the quiet authority of early american biographers, yet speaks in a language that feels freshly relevant to today's readers. Its literary and historical significance lies in its portrait of everyday labour, personal aspiration, and the social currents of an american historical setting that shaped a nation. The work stands as a cornerstone in a classic biography collection, offering concrete detail, humane judgment, and a reverent curiosity about how ordinary lives illuminate larger patterns. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it has been restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure - this edition invites scholars, family historians, and readers of biography to discover a rich, instructive life story that endures.
