Thanks to all of you who helped answer this question: The author our
customer was seeking is Joseph Altsheler. Apparently there are many
older patrons who remember his books.
An interesting note: This question came to the state library reference
desk by e-mail from a man in Massachusetts. Our reference librarian
e-mailed it to me, and I posted it on PUBYAC yesterday afternoon. When
I logged on this morning there were two responses; within a couple of
hours the responses were up to five, all confirming one another. I
e-mailed the responses to the customer who quickly answered that he
looked the books up on Amazon.com and read several nostalgic customer
reviews that confirmed his own experience. He was very pleased.
This is the first reference question I've ever anwered completely by
e-mail (In my job I don't do much reference.) I have found the process
fascinating. It shows what a marvelous tool the Internet really is, but
it also shows that the Internet will never replace the expertise of a
handful of good librarians!
Three cheers!!!
