Excerpt from The Legend of Laddin’s Rock
Hilda had better come prepared to marry him, and make a home, if not a fortune, in the new land. And now, as he sat in the neat dooryard which his industry had developed out of the rough, though fertile, New England hillside, his usually placid mind was sore per plexed, and it would be difficult to describe the mixed emotions which crowded upon it.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
This reproduction was printed from a digital file created at the Library of Congress as part of an extensive scanning effort started with a generous donation from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The Library is pleased to offer much of its public domain holdings free of charge online and at a modest price in this printed format. Seeing these older volumes from our collections rediscovered by new generations of readers renews our own passion for books and scholarship.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of a love story set amidst the historical backdrop of early Dutch settlement in the New England region. The author deftly weaves together themes of star-crossed love, cultural clashes, and the enduring power of tradition. The central narrative follows the forbidden romance between Hilda, a young Dutch woman, and Lone Heart, an Algonquian warrior, whose love transgresses both societal norms and the boundaries of their respective communities. The author vividly depicts the beauty of their secluded rendezvous in a mystical ravine, where the lines between the natural and the supernatural blur. Beyond the compelling love story, this book explores the profound impact of colonialism on both the indigenous population and the European settlers. It sheds light on the misunderstandings, mistrust, and violence that marred their interactions, while also acknowledging the glimmer of hope and possibility that existed amidst the turmoil. The author's evocative writing style transports readers to the rugged landscapes of 17th-century America, where the forces of nature, tradition, and human will collide with dramatic consequences. This book is a captivating tale of forbidden love, historical conflict, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
