Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Royal Americans At Fort Ontario, owing to the sojourn there of a young English lady, wife of an officer of the Regular troops attached to the garrison, a new-born infant was added to the impedimenta of war, on a certain anxious night of midsummer, 1756. Concerning this date, colonial history says that at midnight of August the twelfth, Montcalm, having closed the harbor and cut off relief by land, opened his trenches on the little log-walled fort, first to fall of the British outposts at the mouth of the Oswego. If the subaltern´s baby had been a royal heir, expected by a nation, no more drums would have rolled or soldiers mustered or cannon noised its arrival. Indeed, the wise ones said that event had been measurably hastened by the summons of the enemy´s guns. But Lieutenant Yelverton remarked that his prompt little daughter evidently knew she had no time for parleying with existence, if she would be born under her country´s flag before it struck to the French. As love had fetched her there, so love was waiting with both hands to cherish her first needs. None of those unnatural sounds of the night assailed the flower-soft ears pressed to the silky head in its swan-skin coverings.
