Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pictures of the Olden Time: As Shown in the Fortunes of a Family of the Pilgrims It would be difficult to say to what class of literature the following work properly belongs. It is neither romance nor pure history. Nor can the tales be said to be "founded on fact," since fact is not only the basis, but the framework and substance, of the whole. Some time since, the writer became possessed with the very common propensity for antiquarian and genealogical researches, and rather unexpectedly gathered a mass of materials tending to illustrate family history and genealogy through a period of three hundred years. It was deemed by others of some importance that these materials should be arranged and preserved in a permanent form. But a book of mere genealogies seemed to me the most unedifying of all performances. The question soon occurred, Why not put flesh upon these bones? Why not make these skeletons live?
