ISIDRO
By MARY AUSTIN
"However excellently the time before the Gringo came has been portrayed by Mrs. Atherton, by Helen Hunt Jackson, and by Bret Harte, we have no hesitation in saying that 'Isidro' will suffer not at all by any comparisons. With respect to its sheer beauty of description of a beloved land, and in the broad sympathy that it exhibits with the people and the period, no tale of Spanish days can match it. Conspicuous among its qualities is its realism. No situation, however delicate, is slurred, no issue avoided. But it is realism infused with sympathy."
The Argonaut, San Francisco.
