Their Yesterdays is a novel written by Harold Bell Wright, first published in 1912. The book tells the story of two childhood friends, John Stanton and Billy Louise, who grow up together in the small town of Fairlands, in the American West. As they mature, they fall in love and begin a romantic relationship, but their love is tested when John leaves to pursue his dreams of becoming a successful writer in New York City.The novel explores themes of love, loss, and the struggle to find one's place in the world. It also touches on the changing landscape of America during the early 20th century, as the country moves from a rural, agricultural society to an urban, industrialized one.Wright's writing style is characterized by his use of vivid descriptions of nature and landscapes, as well as his ability to evoke strong emotions in his readers. Their Yesterdays is a timeless classic that has endured for over a century, and continues to be a beloved work of American literature.1912. Wright, served as a minister prior to beginning his artistic and writing career. The author writes: And the man and the woman who went back into Their Yesterdays found there the Thirteen Truly Great Things of Life. Just as they found these things in their grown up days, even unto the end, so they found them in Their Yesterdays. Thirteen Truly Great Things of Life there are. No life can have less. No life can have more. All of life is in them. No life is without them all. Dreams, Occupation, Knowledge, Ignorance, Religion, Tradition, Temptation, Life, Death, Failure, Success, Love, Memories: these are the Thirteen Truly Great Things of Life-found by the man and the woman in their grown up days-found by them in Their Yesterdays-and they found no others.
