Samantha at Saratoga. Antique book circa 1887 by Marietta Holley whose writing was frequently compared to that of Mark Twain and Edgar Nye

"Many of Holley’s writings share themes of prohibition and women's rights. Like Charles Dickens, she brought to her aid the very people whose sufferings she aimed to relieve, and whose evil deeds she hoped to check. She was not only quaint in expression but magnetic, and her sentiments were often touchingly and pathetically strong." Wikipedia
