Book Description
Excerpt from Old Time Belles and Cavaliers The stories which form the chapters of this work have been collected with the sincere h0pe that our own and the mother country will find in them much of which to be proud. The Colonies of America, so famed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries for their brave men, were equally rich in their beautiful women who exhibited so marvellously well the power of the highest feminine influence during the most historic and trying age the country has known. The Revolutionary days, so filled with despair and gloom, the early hours of the first Republic, were productive of some of the noblest spirits ever given to the world, and it was the staunch devotion and truth of her lovely women, the stalwart patriotism of her high-born men, that cast the lone glimmer of radiance over the appalling scenes of war.
