Description
This juvenile volume is from 1899 and is a story of the middle period of the War for Independence.
From the book's Preface:
It has been the author's aim in this volume not only
to follow the fortunes of a Revolutionary maid through
trying scenes, but to outline the history of the times as
closely as might be consistent with a story for girls.
Great care has been taken in the study of this period of
the war for freedom, and it is hoped that the incidents
will carry their weight as matters of history, and that
the importance of the campaign in the Middle States
may be emphasized in the minds of those who read the
story.
Beyond this, it has been the author's endeavor to
give a correct picture of the manners and customs of
that part of the country in which the scene is laid; to
bring out the local coloring, and to draw the characters
honestly, with a close regard to the effect of education
and environment which at an early period began to
indicate the variety of types which are now distinctly
American.
To her desire to please her girl friends the author
adds a modest hope that the book may not be found
uninteresting to older readers.
