Jacob William Wright (1871-1952) was born in Waterton, Wisconsin, whose grandfather, Jacob VanAlstine, ran the Exchange Hotel in town. The "Long Ago" memorializes the author's youth, much of which was spent in the company of his grandparents in Jacob Van Alstine's Exchange Hotel. After graduating from Beloit College, Wright went on to a career as a journalist (in Denver and Pasadena), author, and poet. Mary Van Alstine Wright, his mother (1848- ) was a landscape painter; but I have been unable to determine if she did any of the illustrations for this book. Wright was also the author of "The glad World and Other Songs" (1919). The book offered here was republished by the Van Alystne Co., Pasadena, CA, in 1921.
