In the Spring of 1898 Lucy Maud Montgomery encountered Herman Leard. In a series of passionate journal entries, and one black and white picture clipped from a magazine, LMM described one of the most dramatic and intriguing episodes of her life.

Maud left no bibliographic evidence about this picture, but when packing my apartment for a move to Illinois State University I stumbled across evidence of the picture’s beginnings., Source type: Print(0)
