PARADISE FALLS
DON ROBERTSON
Volume 1
Paradise Falls is an epic chronicle of America—as overwhelming and teeming with vitality as the nation itself. Written in the tradition of Raintree County, this giant of a novel encompasses thirty-five years in the life of the small Ohio town of Paradise Falls, from the end of the Civil War to the tumultuous opening of the twentieth century.
In this novel, Don Robertson re-creates an entire era of American history, an era that saw the stormy end of the profiteer-robber baron and the emergence of the United States as an industrial goliath. But it is first and foremost a human and engrossing story for every palate, overflowing with dramatic scenes and memorable characters.
Paradise Falls is dominated by the figure of C. P. Wells, the ultimate laissez-faire pragmatist, a man who concerns himself only with the possible. To him, reality is truth, and the devil take eternity. Other notable figures the reader will meet
