A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

These narrative sketches of certain dames and daughters of our colonial days are designed to illustrate the different types, epochs, and sections that made up our early American history. Other names of almost equal importance with those chosen could have been included in the pages of this volume, but that might have given undue preponderance to a particular epoch or a special section. It has been the authors endeavor to show in her choice of characters, periods, and environments the changing conditions of colonial life from the stern and controversial days of early settlement to the broader if no less strenuous times that saw the birth of the republic. The author wishes to, express her indebtedness to the published researches of that indefatigable delver in colonial history Mrs. A lice Morse Earle, and to the biographical series entitled Women of Colonial and Revolutionary Days, of which Mrs. Earle is editor; to the collection of Americana in the Boston Public Library, the Boston A thenseum and the Somerville Public Library, and especially to the courtesy of Mr. William S. Thomas, of Baltimore, in placing at her service the excellent sketch of Margaret Brent written by his father, the late John L. Thomas.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.
