A Picked Company is a novel written by Mary Hallock Foote and published in 1912. The story is set in the late 19th century in the American West and follows the lives of a group of artists and writers who have come together to form a creative community in the remote town of Silver City. The main character, a young artist named Ruth Enschede, is drawn to this community and becomes part of their circle. As she navigates the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated field and grapples with her own artistic ambitions, she forms close relationships with the other members of the group. However, their idyllic existence is threatened when a wealthy businessman arrives in town and begins to exert his influence over the community. The novel explores themes of creativity, ambition, and the tension between artistic ideals and commercial success. With vivid descriptions of the rugged Western landscape and nuanced characterizations, A Picked Company is a compelling portrait of a unique time and place in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
