Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from A Loyal Little Red-Coat: A Story of Child-Life in New York a Hundred Years AgoIN the introductory chapter of The History of the People of the United States, Mr. Mcmaster announces as his subject, The history Of the people from the close of the war for Independence down to the opening Of the war between the States. It seems at first thought improbable that a history excluding both the Revolu tion and the Civil War should prove in any great degree interesting, but the first twelve pages suffice to convince one to the contrary. With consummate skill in selection and narration, Mr. Mcmaster has brought to light information Of a singularly novel character. Impressed with this unlooked-for quality, it occurred to me that here was ground that had not been previously gone over - not, at any rate, in a story for children. A Loyal Little red-coat has been the outcome. Whether I have succeeded in transferring to these pages aught of the peculiar interest Of the history remains to be seen. This much may be said, however, that every historical allusion is based upon actual fact. The English Circus, the Captain's letter, Harry's prison-ship experiences, Alexander Hamilton's successful defence Ofa Tory client, the treatment Of the Bonifaces at the ball all find their counterpart in the realities of a century ago. For much of the minor historical detail I am indebted to those rare and quaint Old volumes, carefully treasured by our historical societies, which make possible the faithful recounting of the story Of bygone days. In my attempt to reproduce the child-life of a time so far removed, I have probably been guilty of some anachronisms. If, however, I have woven a page Of history into a story that, by any chance, shall interest the children, for whom it has been a delight to me to write it, I shall be sincerely grateful.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Hazel Boniface was a Loyalist, which means that she was a hearty little champion of King George the Third of England, and this notwithstanding she lived in America, and was born there. It had happened to be on a crisp October morning of the year 1773 that Hazel's gray eyes first saw the light, and they no sooner saw the light than they saw a wonderful red coat, and just as soon as she was able to understand it, she learned that that red coat belonged to her papa, and that her papa belonged to King George's army. So, after all, you see it was but natural that she should have been a little Loyalist from the start, and quite to have been expected that she should grow more and more staunch with every year.

Excerpt from Loyal Hearts and TrueEsting book, Marching with Gomez, and to him as well I owe my acquaintance with old Rosa, plucky little Paco and the others. For details of life aboard the receiving ship I am deeply indebted to Captain Merrill Miller, of the United States Navy, and for other important data to an oficial pamphlet compiled by Lieutenant Te j eiro, of the Spanish Navy. There are several real people in this book, some of them famous enough to be known instantly. Whenever these famous people have anything to say it is in their own words that they speak, and not in mine, I assure you. I believe I have furnished Admiral Philip with one or two harmless remarks, but I am so fortunate as to know him well enough to feel confident that I am forgiven beforehand. All this by way of a needed word of explanation and of acknowledgment.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public.

As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text.

However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
