Synopsis

The Banners of the Coast is a historical novel written by Archibald Hamilton Rutledge and published in 1908. The story is set in the late 17th century in South Carolina, a time when the English colonies were still struggling to establish themselves in the New World. The novel follows the life of a young man named Peter Balsam, who is the son of a wealthy plantation owner. When his father dies, Peter inherits the plantation and becomes involved in the political and social issues of the time. He becomes a leader in the fight against the Spanish, who are trying to take over the region, and he also becomes involved in a love triangle with two women. The novel is full of action, adventure, and romance, and it provides a vivid picture of life in the early American colonies. It is a classic work of historical fiction that is still widely read and enjoyed today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

From out the secret mountain deeps my yearning soul was drawn, I flow through violet valleys, and by languorous leagues of lawn, In the beauty of the mountains in the dusk and in the dawn. There I saw the far blue mountains in the visionary west, Saw the mist upon the mountains in the opal evening west. Saw the clouds that labor for me oer the mountains misty crest. Then I journey through the midland where the cottons in the boll, Where the stalwart rustling corn-ranks, like an army past control, March down upon my margin where my waters softly roll. (O nce I saw my queenly City, when the foe had stormed the gate; Saw my proud, defenceless City, in the brutal hands of fate, And the land cried out for mercy on Columbia, desolate.) But the ocean ever calls me in a solemn undertone. Past the mountains, past the meadows where the waving willows shone, Past many a pine and cypress standing sentinel alone.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
