Excerpt from Children's Stories in American Literature, 1861 1896 In a certain American classic there is a picture of a boy standing in the shadow of an old warehouse and living, in imagination, a day that belonged to another generation. The boy was George William Curtis, and it was in his charming book, Prue and I, that he embodied this experience of his boyhood. In the pages which describe the past glories of Providence the author is picturing his native city, and reproducing with an artist's touch the atmosphere which surrounded his childish days. At that time Providence was sharing the fate of many New England seaport towns whose importance was passing away.
