A Wall of Men is a historical novel written by Margaret Hill McCarter and published in 1912. The story is set in Kansas during the late 1800s and early 1900s, and revolves around the lives of a group of men who form a protective ''wall'' around their community. The novel explores themes of courage, community, and the struggle for survival in a harsh and unforgiving environment.The central character of the story is John Barclay, a young man who is forced to leave his family and home in the East after his father’s death. He travels to Kansas, where he is taken in by a group of men who have banded together to protect their community from the threats of outlaws and hostile Native Americans. John becomes a part of this group, and over time he learns to love and respect the men who have become his family.As the story progresses, the men face a series of challenges and hardships, including attacks from outlaws, drought, and disease. Through it all, they remain steadfast in their commitment to protect their community and each other. Along the way, John falls in love with a local schoolteacher, and together they work to improve the lives of the people around them.A Wall of Men is a powerful and inspiring tale of resilience, loyalty, and the strength of the human spirit. It is a testament to the enduring power of community and the importance of standing together in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
