A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

As we are about to introduce our readers to scenes with which the European is little familiarized, some few cursory remarks, illustrative of the general features of the country into which we have shifted our labors, may not be deemed misplaced at the opening of this volume. Without entering into minute geographical detail, it may be necessary merely to point out the outline of such portions of the vast continent of America as still acknowledge allegiance to the English crown, in order that the reader, understanding the localities, may enter with deeper interest into the incidents of a tale connected with a ground hitherto untouched by the wand of the modern novelist.
