This illustration dates to the early 1900s and shows Peter Goldthwaite from Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story titled ""Peter Goldthwaite's Treasure."" The caption reads: He uplifted the axe, and laid about him so vigorously that the dust flew, the boards crashed.Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) was an American novelist and short story writer. His Wonder-Book and Tanglewood Tales are children's classics. He also wrote The Scarlet Letter, Blithedale Romance, The House of Seven Gables, The Marble Faun. With his superb creation of dark-hued atmosphere, his symbolism, and his blend of realistic detail and romantic-even melodramatic theme, Hawthorne stands as one of America's top novelists.
