Text on reverse reads: "From the book 'Glimpses of Fifty Years' by Frances E. Willard Forest Home, a picturesque cottage, with rambling roof, gables, dormer-windows, little porches, crannies, and out-of-the-way nooks. To the west was the winding river, with its outlook to the setting sun. To the east the prairie green with springing wheat or yellow ripening grain. To the right and left the wooded hills like softly sheltering arms. What a perfect place for a home to be!" |
