Katy of Catoctin or the Chain-Breakers: A National Romance

Hardcover (Forgotten Books Jan. 20, 2018)
Excerpt from Katy of Catoctin or the Chain-Breakers: A National RomanceLike many such literary projects nursed by a journalist, this one had not only to be postponed, but finally to become a portion of a broader story, because too many of the actors in the tragedy still lived, and the mere crime presented no elevated moral to justify its embellishment.Considering it, however, as one of a series of cumulative acts of violence committed upon or from the soil of Mary land during the conflict of Emancipation, the author felt not only an epic propriety to be in the theme, but it appealed to him as a descendant of Marylanders and one who had already, in his romance of The Entailed Hat, pictured the twin lobe of Maryland and the rise of the slave interest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
