The establishment of an historic basis for this little romance was fraught with many difficulties, owing to the great divergence in statement and opinions to be found in regard to the life and origin of Justin Morgan. The author was obliged to select from a mass of contradictory material that which most nearly conformed with the purpose and continuity of the story.
