Présentation de l'éditeur
Civil War with its eager grasp and large recompense; and the hand that knows no reverence for Yesterday have combined to cast into the pit ofO blivion much that would now be deemed priceless. But the faithful seeker along the shores of the Past will find that there yet remain sheltered beaches where some of the treasures left by the flood ofT ime have escaped the wear of waves, a careless foot, and crumpling fingers. This record of life in the eighteenth century has been compiled from a careful searching of private papers, and by mention of the long-ago, a stirring of old memories, parting the mists of the present and welcoming the wafts of recollection, till the vision dear to the old hearts grew clear, and tradition and knowledge were secured.
