Hubbard, Lindley Murray. Express of ’76, a chronicle of the town of York in the war of independence. †$1.50. Little.
An old journal written in Revolutionary days, by General Hubbard, so the author says, forms the basis of this romantic novel of the campaign in New York. The scenes are set vividly before us with a journal’s own detail and, in following the fortunes of Jonathan Hubbard, we see something of Washington, Franklin, Putnam, Burr, Hamilton and others who are as well known as the battles in which they fought. The mysterious lady Claremont, the little Quaker maid, and other maidens, some historic, some semi-historic fill out the plot and make this tale a typical war-time romance.
