Description
About this book
"Three millions! : or, The way of the world" by Oliver Optic is a novel written in the late 19th century. It centers on Eugene Hungerford, a principled young New Englander suddenly enriched by his uncle’s immense fortune—on the condition that he marry and produce a son named John Hungerford—setting up a conflict between love, duty, and personal integrity. The story moves among Poppleton’s mills and harbor and the nearby islands, following Eugene’s feelings for Mary Kingman, the attentions of an ardent artist, Eliot Buckstone, and the counsel of his friend Dick Birch, as wealth collides with character and community.
