It is fresh and spontaneous, having nothing of
that wooden quality which is becoming
associated with the term
“historical novel.”
HEARTS
COURAGEOUS
By HALLIE ERMINIE RIVES
“Hearts Courageous” is made of new material, a picturesque yet delicate style, yet good plot and very dramatic situations. The best in the book are the defence of George Washington by the Marquis; the duel between the English officer and the Marquis; and Patrick Henry flinging the brand of war into the burgesses of Virginia.
Williamsburg, Virginia, the country round about, and the life led in that locality just before the Revolution, form an attractive setting for the action of the story.
