TO THE READER

To name the historians, biographers, memoir and narrative writers,
diarists, and contributors of but a vivid page or two to the magazines
of Historical Societies, to whom the writer of a story dealing with this
period is indebted, would be to place below a very long list. In lieu of
doing so, the author of this book will say here that many incidents
which she has used were actual happenings, recorded by men and women
writing of that through which they lived. She has changed the manner but
not the substance, and she has used them because they were "true
stories" and she wished that breath of life within the book. To all
recorders of these things that verily happened, she here acknowledges
her indebtedness and gives her thanks.
