Miss Lou, E. P. Roe, Dodd, Mead best Publ, 1888, first edition

Edward Payson Roe (1838-1888) began reaching wide audiences in the 1870s and 1880s with bestsellers such as Barriers Burned Away (1872), Opening a Chestnut Burr (1874), A Knight of the Nineteenth Century (1877), and A Face Illumined (1878). A Presbyterian minister who served as a Civil War chaplain, Roe left the pulpit to spend more time writing novels he consistently understood as evangelizing instruments. Roe was for many years the most popular author in evangelical literary circles and enjoyed a popularity ranging far beyond evangelicalism's nebulous borders.
