Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters of Eliza Wilkinson: During the Invasion and Possession of Charleston, S. C. By the British in the Revolutionary War; Arranged From the Original Manuscripts Few records exist of American women either before or during the war of the revolution. Those perpetuated by history, though honorable, particularly to the Southern States, want the charm of personal narration. To those of us who dwell among her kindred, Eliza Wilkinson´s letters present a most living picture; and they cannot fail to excite public interest at a period, when such anxiety is abroad to gather every relic of our part history before it floats away down the stream of time. At the season of writing her letters, Mrs. Wilkinson was a young and beautiful widow; her handwriting, where it is not defaced by the damps of time is clear and feminine. The letters were copied by herself into a blank quarto book, on which the extravagant sale-price marks one of the features of the times.
