Maid of the Mohawk |
By FREDERICK A. RAY |
A ROMANCE OF THE MOHAWK VALLEY IN THE DAYS OF THE REVOLUTION
¶ The picturesque valley of the Mohawk River—one of the tributary streams of the mighty Hudson—was the theatre of some of the most exciting incidents of the American Revolution.
¶ It was settled by a mixture of Dutch, English and Irish and was the very border land of the Briton’s most terrible ally—the Indian.
¶ In this fruitful region Mr. Ray has located the principal scenes of his romance and the only wonder is that no one has done it before him.
¶ All of the characters are actively concerned in the Revolutionary War and many of them are historical personages, among whom might be mentioned: General Washington, Major Andre, Benedict Arnold, Sir Henry Clinton, James Riverton and many others. Whatever they do in the story is in perfect harmony with history.
