Spoon River Anthology

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. For permission to reprint the Spoon River Anthology in book form, I Wish to thank William Marion Reedy, the editor of Reedy''s Mirror, where it appeared from week to week, beginning with May 29, 1914; and to express my gratitude to him for the sympathetic interest which he showed in the work from the beginning.
