A January 1880 number of the illustrated weekly for young readers, opening with a nature study of squirrels and wildcats in the winter woods.

This issue of Harper's Young People gathers stories, articles, and pictures for children of the 1880s. A charming artifact of Victorian juvenile publishing. Read it for an authentic window onto the reading of American children nearly a century and a half ago.
