Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from David Alden´s Daughter: And Other Stories of Colonial Times Most of the stories collected in this volume were written some years ago and printed in various magazines, - as "Harper´s Monthly," "The Atlantic Monthly," the late lamented "Putnam´s Monthly," and others, to each of which thanks for the privilege of republication are hereby tendered. At the period when some of them - notably "The Love Life of William Bradford" and "Barbara Standish" - were written, the author was in the first flush of delight and surprise at discovering the wealth of romance imbedded in that "Forefather´s Rock" which to many observers still appears a mere mass of granite, stern, cold, and sad. Perhaps the joy of this discovery, working upon a youthful imagination and untried powers, may have induced a certain fermentation of fancy, suggesting rather what "might have been," than what is known to have been.
