At the same time he created subjects related to everyday life and the Civil War for "Harper's Weekly," Homer drew images inspired by literary stories for "The Galaxy," a monthly magazine established in 1868. This example relates to "Beechdale" by Mary Virginia Terhune (née Hawes) who published under the penname Marion Harland.
