Produktbeschreibung
Inside the bank that June morning the clerks and accountants on their high stools were bent over their ponderous ledgers, although it was several minutes before the opening hour. The gray-stone building was in Atlanta's most central part on a narrow street paved with asphalt which sloped down from one of the main thoroughfares to the section occupied by the old passenger depot, the railway warehouses, and hotels of various grades. Considerable noise, despite the closed windows and doors, came in from the outside. Locomotive bells slowly swung and clanged; steam was escaping; cabs, drays, and trucks rumbled and creaked along; there was a whir of a street-sweeping machine turning a corner and the shrill cries of newsboys selling the morning papers. Jarvis Saunders, member of the firm of Mostyn, Saunders & Co., bankers and brokers, came in; and, hanging his straw hat up, he seated himself at his desk, which the negro porter had put in order.
Autorenporträt
William Nathaniel Harben, also known as Will N. Harben, was an American writer born on July 5, 1858, in Dalton, Georgia. He was primarily known for his stories that depicted the lives of people from the mountain regions of Northern Georgia, capturing the nuances of their culture, struggles, and personal experiences. Active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Harben's works often explored themes of race, class, and societal change, reflecting the complexities of the time. His writing offered rich, detailed portrayals of Southern life, making a notable contribution to American literature. Harben's works were well-received in his time, although his recognition has since faded somewhat. He passed away on August 7, 1919, in New York City at the age of 61. Despite his relatively short life, Harben's literary legacy remains tied to his portrayal of the Southern Appalachian experience, providing valuable insight into the people and culture of that era. His focus on local characters and social issues has earned him a place in the broader conversation about regional American literature.
