About the Book Historical Fiction books set their characters and plot at some time in the past, providing adequate background on the customes and mores of that time to make it seem believable to the reader, whilst not necessarily remaining true to actual historical events in that setting. This genre became quite popular in Europe and North America during the 19th century. Examples include: A Plot and a Peerage, Uncle Moses, Vathek; An Arabian Tale, The Naulahka: A Story of West and East, The Bindweed: A Romantic Novel Concerning the Late Queen of Servia, and Hawk's Nest, or the last of the Cahoonshees.About usTrieste Publishing’s aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time.

Excerpt: ...force was sent out from Bos-ton to meet and pro-tect them, but the A-mer-i-cans kept up the pursuit un-til they found safe-ty un-der the guns of their ships of war. Thus be-gan the war of the Rev-o-lution, in which all the Col-o-nies were to take part, and which was to end in mak-ing of them great, u-nit-ed, and free States. When it was de-cided to put the coun-try on a war foot-ing, the Sons of Lib-er-ty (as the A-mer-i-can pa-tri-ots were called) in New York act-ed with prompt en-er-gy. They would not let a ship leave port with food or arms for the Brit-ish troops shut up in Bos-ton. A man by the name of I-saac Sears, at a pub-lic meeting, urged ev-er-y man to get twen-ty-four rounds of am-mu-ni-tion.
