Romance Of American History As Illustrated In The Early Events Connected With The French Settlement At Fort Carolina PDF Download

Excerpt from Romance of American History, Vol. 1 of 2: As Illustrated in the Early Events Connected With the French Settlement at Fort Carolina, the Spanish Colony at St. Augustine, and the English Plantation at Jamestown The early colonial history of the Southern States abounds in incidents of a highly roman tic nature, especially Florida and Virginia. Some of these have found their way into the various Histories of the United States, and others have not. A particular narration of all the events of all the states of the Union would be a work so voluminous as, by its magnitude, to deter many from its perusal. Hence writers on the history of the whole country, from its discovery, are, from the necessity of the case, obliged to condense their accounts, and even reject much that is interesting. In this work an opposite course has been pursued. A limited extent of country and a comparatively short period of time have been embraced, and the interesting incidents which occurred within those limits minutely related. They pass before the eye in their various bril liant or sombre hues, like a continuous picture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
