Important for womens history.
“At the Foot of the Rainbow,” Gene Stratton-Porter's 1907 novel, uses
fishing as a backdrop to tell the story of Jimmy Malone and Dannie
Macnoun, who is in love with Jimmy's wife, Mary. The characters,
setting, dialogue/dialect, and virtues are classic Porter; the issues
and values are timeless; and the thought-provoking manner in which
Stratton-Porter concludes her story leave one considering their own
lives on a deeper level.
