TO THE MEMORY OF
MARGARET N. CARTER,
WHOSE LIVING AND LOVING PRESENCE WAS AN INSPIRATION DURING THE PREPARATION OF THESE CHAPTERS, AND WHOSE SKETCHES ARE AMONG THOSE THAT ADORN ITS PAGES,
THIS LITTLE VOLUME
Dedicated.
The revival of interest in Colonial and Revolutionary times has become a marked feature of the life of to-day. Its manifestations are to be found in the literature which has grown up around these periods, and in the painstaking individual research being made among documents and records of the past with genealogical and historical intent.
