Book Description

Excerpt from The Refugees, Vol. 1: A Tale of Two Continents Were the teller of an old tale to acknowledge all his sources he would have to burden his book with a bibliography. No man, however, can, without flagrant injustice, write upon the end of the seventeenth century at the French Court without acknowledging his indebtedness to Miss Julia Pardoe, nor can he treat American history of the same date without owing much to Mr. Francis Park man. I may add that I have taken some slight liberties with history, especially by compressing events which occurred within a space of about three years into a very much shorter time.
