Long Description
I bought and paid very little for the following books at a garage sale:
E.P. Roe- Near to Nature's Heart
E.P. Roe- A Young Girl's Wooing
E.P. Roe- From Jest to Earnest
E.P. Roe-He Fell in Love with His Wife
E.P. Roe-Opening a Chestnut Burr
E.P. Roe- Miss Lou
E.P. Roe- An Original Belle
E.P. Roe- The Earth Trembles
E.P. Roe- Without a Home
E.P. Roe- Barriers Burned Away
Â
They are in great condition and the front page is signed by "Ella Duckwall Christmas 1889 From G.C.S." along with another name below "Paul M. Prugh Bought in West Manchester, O May 1, 1943."
I will keep these books til the day I die, but I would love nothing more than to know the value of the books!Â
For Sale?

Re: E.P. Roe Books
Barriers Burned away- I am stoked that you found this book- if it is a true first edition, you have something truly wonderful. The author and his wife wrote this book together, it is about The Great Chicago Fire- and a true first edition is worth about $90! If it isnt, the price drops significantly of course as with all books- to $20 for a copy from 1900. Great find, I've been keeping my eye out for it myself!
