The text and illustrations of the original book are in
the public domain in the United States. However, since
Cather died in 1947 and Benda in 1948, they may still be
under copyright in many other countries, for example,
those that use the life of the author + 60 years or life + 70
years for the duration of copyright.
Readers outside the
United States should check their own countries’ copyright
laws to be certain they can legally download this ebook.
The Online Books Page has an FAQ which gives a
summary of copyright durations for many other countries,
as well as links to more official sources.
This PDF ebook was
created by José Menéndez.
NOTE ON THE TEXT
The text and illustrations used in this ebook are from
the 1918 first edition. (Thanks to Jon Noring for making
his page scans available online.) A number of typographical
errors in the original book have been corrected, but to
preserve all of the first edition, the original misprints are
included in footnotes. The line breaks and pagination of
the original book have also been reproduced.
In addition, a few endnotes (signed “J.M.”) have
been added to point out some non-typographical mistakes
in the text.
