I am looking for an original "Decorative Plaques" book.  The Print-On-Demand copies are strictly black-and-white (not grey-scale) and are poor.  I have found the original poems and drawings as they were pre-collected in the "Wide Awake" magazines.  So, I am not desperately looking for an unknown treasure, but I like to have the originals in my possession.

I am looking for these stories.  If you run accross them at your library, I would like a photocopy of them.  I will gladly reimburse any costs for microfiche printing, copying, and mailing.  E-mail me: Jeff @ strobedata.com for specifics.  I'd also like to know if these references are inaccurate.

Also, I assume that all stories were published in periodicals before they were collected into a book.  So, where were these first published?
From "A New England Nun": "A Wayfaring Couple", "A Pot of Gold", and "A Discovered Pearl"
From "Young Lucretia": "Seventoe's Ghost", "A Parsnip Stew", and "A Sweet-Grass Basket"
From "The Winning Lady": "Her Christmas", "Eliza Sam", "Flora and Hannah", and "A New-Year's Resolution"
From "Edgewater People": "Sarah Edgewater", "The Old Man of the Field", and "The Flowering Bush"

Then, "Eglantina" was published differently in "The Givers" and "The Fair Lavinia".  The version in "The Fair Lavinia" matches best with the pre-collected version in Harper's Monthly of August, 1902.  What other versions are about?
