What the Critics Said:
The emotion of the author is a driving force that makes the story well worthwhile.” – The Saturday Review
 “If Tully were a Russian, read in translation, all the professors would be hymning him. He has all of Gorky’s capacity for making vivid the miseries of poor and helpless men, and in addition he has a humor that no Russian could conceivably have.” - H.L. Mencken
