Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Betty Alden the First-Born Daughter of the Pilgrims Everybody has sympathized with Mr. Dick who could not keep King Charles´s head out of his memorial, and I hope everybody will sympathize with me who have been unable to keep Betty Alden in this her memorial so constantly as I wished and she deserved. But as the whole includes the less, her story will be found threaded through that of her people and her times in that modest subordination to which the lives of her sex were trained in that day. He who would read for himself the story of this noble woman, the first - born daughter of the Pilgrims, must seek it through ancient volumes and mouldering records, until at Little Compton in Rhode Island he finds upon her gravestone the last affectionate and honorable mention of Elizabeth, daughter of John and Priscilla Alden, and wife of William Pabodie. Or in lighter mood, he may consider the rugged rhyme tradition places in her mouth upon the occasion of the birth of her great great grandchild: - "Rise daughter! To thy daughter run! Thy daughter´s daughter hath a son." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
