Description
Michigan-based Clack Book (1896-1897) ran Zoe’s story set at a waterfall resort resembling Cumberland Falls in southern Kentucky, where her husband Spencer briefly worked. The plot: a fiancé, dissatisfied with his “calmly regal” betrothed, accompanies a delicate Kentucky belle on a rowboat ride. He rescues her (and falls in love) as the boat is sucked into the waterfall current, “plunging madly.” His betrothed smilingly hands him back his engagement ring, and he immediately regrets losing her.
