This Side of Glory
Gwen Bristow

Buccaneer Books, 1983

This Side of Glory is a great read.
I read this book when I was a teenager as the first segment of "Plantation Trilogy". I loved the well developed characters and the era depictions of the trilogy and they really must be read together. I purchased and re-read the three with my own teenage daughter and ...
  
  











  



  
Jubilee Trail
Gwen Bristow

Chicago Review Press, 2006

Gwen Bristow's books helped me survive middle school and awkward adolescence.
I just reviewed Celia Garth, which was the first novel I had read by Gwen Bristow. I found that book to be so enthralling that I quickly sought out and read everything she wrote. I think, other than Celia Garth, this was my favorite of Bristow's books. Bristow ...
  
  











  



  
Tomorrow Is Forever
Gwen Bristow

Buccaneer Books, 1978

A truly great story
I read this book years ago when I was around 10 or 12 years old. I won't go into the plot because other reviewers have already done so, but this was a story that takes place between World War I and World War II. A woman's first husband is supposedly killed in the ...

Calico Palace
Gwen Bristow

Pocket, 1971

This author brings the gold rush and San Francisco to life
I actually owned this book in the 70's (and loved it). I have no idea why I gave it away, as now I had to buy another used copy. Hope I didn't buy my own back again! This is a book about Kendra, who with her mother and step father came to San Francisco right ...
  
  











  



  
Deep Summer
Gwen Bristow

Buccaneer Books, 1979

------One of the very best stories about the South-------
I recently decided to go back and reread some books that I had enjoyed as a teenager. I started with author Gwen Bristow's DEEP SUMMER. Reading this again as a mature adult was wonderful. Even though, the characters are fictional, the time period was a very important ...
  
  











  



  
Golden Dreams
Gwen Bristow

Ty Crowell Co, 1980

Historically accurate and easy to read
It was fun reading that book, it took me only 3 days! Gwen Bristow uses her writing skills to bring historic events to life. From the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill to California's admission as the 31st state of the Union - an interesting description of ...
  
  











  



  
Celia Garth (Special Numbered First Edition on Ivory Laid Paper)
Gwen Bristow

Thomas Y. Crowell Company, 1959

Perfect novel for young and adult readers!
I first encountered this book as a preteen, and have since revisited it at least once a year. While it is engaging for the young reader, it is also story rich to hold an adult's interest. Celia Garth is a young orphan making a living as a seamstress during the ...
  
  











  



  
Tomorrow is Forever
Gwen Bristow

Consolidated Book Publishers, 1944

1ST PAGE:"Elizabeth Herlong looked across the coffee-cups at her husband. 'Feel better, Spratt?' He began to laugh. 'Yes, I do. Talking to you is such a relief. You're good to drop everything and drive all the way here just to listen to me.'
  
  











  



  
Celia Garth: A Story of Charleston in the Revolution
Gwen Bristow

Nautical & Aviation Publishing Company of Ame, 2000

Oldie but goodie...
Gwen Bristow's Celia Garth may have been published in 1959, but it is truly a classic that is just as timely today. Charleston is always associated with the Civil War, but most Americans do not realize how much fighting went on in and around Charleston during the ...
