Books with title A Loyal Little Red-coat : a Story of Child-life in New York a Hundred Years Ago

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.

"Oh, dear me!" said Pauline, " I would not like a father of one sort and a mother of another; which kind did you like best?" "I do not remember my mother at all, but my father said she was beautiful and a good woman, but not just what people call a lady. She died when I was two years old, and then my father took me to England, and then after a while he married a real lady, a white English lady like himself, and they had some lovely white children; but the English mother never liked me. I think she couldn't somehow, Miss Pauline"--he seemed to reason as though he were afraid of blaming anybody--" and I thought I was in the way--in the way even of my father; and so one day I ran off and joined a circus that was coming to America. But I did not care for the circus very much, and so Job Starlight and Miss Hazel helped me to run away from that, and now I'm Miss Hazel's body servant, and the Bonifaces seem to like me, and I never was so happy in all my life before." "That's a very nice story, too nice for a secret. Why don't you tell it'round?" "Oh, because I don't want my father ever to hear of me, for then he might send for me, and I want to stay with the Bonifaces always. You won't tell, will you, Miss Pauline?" "I would if I could," she answered, with a spirit of mischief, "but you can't tell things if your head's like a sieve, and lets everything through, can you i Now is there nothing more?" "No, there isn't," Flutters answered, a little shortly, indignant at her answer. It hardly paid, he thought, to be kind to a young lady who acted like th...
