The Second War with England, Vol. 1 of 2
Headley, Joel Tyler
United States -- History -- War of 1812
The authoress has succeeded in collecting a large amount of
new and important facts, illustrative of the heroism evinced
in action and suffering, by the women who bore their part in
the Revolution, which have no place in the political
histories of the time, and have been derived almost entirely
from private sources.--_N. Y. Journal of Commerce._
The rich store of information contained in these volumes,
has been procured at the cost of much and laborious
research, from the surviving relatives of the heroines,
scattered through various parts of the Union. Personal
recollections have been recorded, family papers and letters
examined, and the work thus made a faithful and vivid
exhibition of the domestic scenes of the war.--_Charleston
Inquirer._
The conception of the book is at once beautiful and
patriotic, and its execution is worthy of its subject, and
worthy of the reputation of its gifted authoress.--_Albany
Atlas._
These sketches are of thrilling interest, as we gather from
a hasty glance at their pages. The narrative is clear,
concise, and very agreeably written.--_N. B. Mercury._
