THE PRICE OF BLOOD AN EXTRAVAGANZA OF NEW YORK ...

This illustrative story set in 1807 New York presents exciting events in the life of Nathaniel
Griscombe- an attorney who was permitted to practice at the bar of justice but usually sat at
his office window and engaged himself with his thoughts and assumptions with not much to do. He
was well regarded as a person with exceptional wit and was also famous as a man who could drink
enormous amounts of liquor without losing control over his body. But one fine day  things
changed for Griscombe when this young lawyer  without any prior practice  started getting
clients one after another. The novel consists of several thrilling events that follow the young
attorney. American illustrator and author Howard Pyle wrote the book to let the reader consider
how easy it is for the innocent to become mixed up in a fate that no way involves him and for
the discreet to become surrounded in a network of events which he has had no part in causing.
This book presents fantastic imagery  acting as a window to early 1800s New York  and gives a
glimpse of how the court was conducted during that period.
