An excerpt of a review from The Cambrian, Vol. 25: Brentano's announce the publication of "A Woman of the Ice Age," by L. P. Gratacap, which is a story in a new field of romantic invention. It carries its readers back to the Ice Age, the Mastodon, its predatory enemy, the sabre-toothed tiger, and to a still-lingering representative of the great Sloths, in the Pleistocene Age of North America. The scene is laid in the far West of our continent, on the edges of the Pacific Ocean, in a region whose contrasted and interblending features include the Ice Cap to the north, a morainal land south of it, an area of sub-tropical beauty still further south, and the developed Canon areas to the east. The book after an opening chapter of necessary local description tells of the Woman's drifting northward to the great Ice Cap; then follows the introduction of Ogga, the mastodon hunter and his adventures. Ogga and the Woman meet, and escape together from a seismic convulsion; they encounter the aboriginal horses whose presence in North America at that time is indubitable and see their destruction. The intrusion of Lagk, the hunter of horses succeeds, Ogga's quest of the great Sloth, Lagk's struggle and discomfiture, and the Woman's and the Man's death in the rainless Desert. * * * * * About the Author (From the Columbia Alumni News, Volume 9): Louis Pope Gratacap was a wide reader of general literature, his memory was retentive of what he read and his conversation and correspondence showed the effects, his ordinary vocabulary being remarkable for its variety and richness. He was fond of using quaint and picturesque phrases and almost archaic words in every-day speech. It was a delight to talk with him and note the scintillations of his imaginative brain or yield to the influence of his kindly humor. He was fond of speculative reasoning, which led to the writing of his "Certainty of a Future Life in Mars," "Woman of the Ice Age" and other works of phantasy tinged with science. Gratacap had much of the charm of manner that is commonly assigned to a "gentleman of the old school," but he was sensitive and retiring in disposition and therefore did not have the wide circle of personal friends to which his breadth of knowledge and versatility of mind entitled him. To those who knew him he was a lovable man, valued also for his sterling qualities. His was a kind heart to which distress of any kind made strong appeal, but his countless deeds of true charity were never heralded to the world. His colleagues miss him and mourn their loss.

The existence of Man in the geological period that preceded the one we live in, in his full anthropoid reality, possessing a mind, self conscious, radiant with powers of creation, of language, of inquisition, has been established. Man, vested with his essential attributes and physiologically and psychologically erect, as a peculiar dissonant and discrete living thing lived and died in the Quarternary Day of this Earth. The proof is incontestible. The fact is fixed to-day in the records of scientific assertion and discovery.Doubtfully realized at first, it has been slowly established through the heaping up of successive proofs, that in the waning years of that geological section of time called the Ice Age, man had begun this slow conquest of the earth.

"APOLOGYThe Prehistoric Man needs rehabilitation. At least it can be urged that there are possible phases of the prehistoric man that can be elevated into emotional dignity, not unworthy of romance and heroics. It has been too commonly assumed, under the omnipresent pressure of scientific generalizations, that the prehistoric was a semi-feral type of human animal, squalid, distorted, simian-faced, thin-thighed and adumbrant, without speech, perchance groping his blind and biological course upward, by some sort of evolution, into a reasoning, talking, purposive and spiritual creature; that he was a faunal expression simply, like a triceratops in the Upper Cretaceous, or a mud-buffalo in the Philippines...."

The Prehistoric Man needs rehabilitation. At least it can be urged that there are possible phases of the prehistoric man that can be elevated into emotional dignity, not unworthy of romance and heroics. It has been too commonly assumed, under the omnipresent pressure of scientific generalizations, that the prehistoric was a semi-feral type of human animal, squalid, distorted, simian-faced, thin-thighed and adumbrant, without speech, perchance groping his blind and biological course upward, by some sort of evolution, into a reasoning, talking, purposive and spiritual creature; that he was a faunal expression simply, like a triceratops in the Upper Cretaceous, or a mud-buffalo in the Philippines.But there is some sense in claiming for him the possibilities of dramatic action and feeling, assuring to him the restitution of poetic feeling, religious designs, and emotional episodes. It is sensible, for if we place the prehistoric anywhere before the advent of human annals, the length in time of his existence is so enormous that it is inconceivable that[Pg 2] he could not have evolved speech, and if speech then the retinue of feelings and ideas which arise with speech, just as speech itself is the index of a cerebral cortex that has become elaborately modified. Let us look at this claim more closely; let us even affectionately increase, intensify and adorn it.This story has been written under the influence of a melodramatic assumption, hostile, it will be said, to probability, and essentially fanciful, chimerical and fabulous. It cannot be denied that it departs, perhaps summarily, from the postulates of arch�ology, as to the life and demeanor and mental compass, or, more particularly, emotional resources of that necessary object who must, to relieve anthropology of its lugubrious alarm over accepting a quicker entrance into the world of our race, have lived in the great Prehistoric Day of Geology.In the day which saw the passage into sedimentary records of the last of the Tertiaries, and carried on its calendars the rise, amplitude and disappearance of the Ice Age, in that day Man lived, and he lived all through it, and it was a long day, measured by thousands of years. But why must it be predicated that man could not have reached in that day such a range of feelings as are involved in the rise and refinement of love? It is perfectly true, as it is entirely permissible so to choose, that this tale of the Woman of the Ice Age, has to do with the advanced types of prehistoric[Pg 3] man, and that thus typified the author has reason to insist that Lhatto and Ogga are just creations.The physical perfection of Lhatto and Ogga cannot be wisely disputed. The prehistoric is usually thought of as a half-emancipated ape, shaggy with hair, protuberant in eye-brows and mouth, shuffling, chattering his uncouth experiments in speech or conveying his desires by grimaces, shrugs, gestures and contortions. But when we realize, that however explained, evolution does not present us with abundant intermediate forms in its processes of improvement, but rather offers us a range of ascending steps, or positions, with the blended connexions removed, it is quite unlikely that in the evolution of man there was any hesitancy in passing from the monkey state to the rights of primogeniture as God's image.
