| The scene of the story is
largely laid in old New York, when the city was still a walled town and
made up of a small cluster of buildings about the tip of the island around
the Battery. Here one sees Kidd, and his wife, Sarah Oort, and the two
young people, charming Sancia and gallant Dirck, who afford a note of
love romance. As the story unfolds one follows Kidd to the high seas,
and in the end to his English prison………… |

The Drums of Aulone |
1927, Appleton.
|
American colonial days. 3 p.l., 347, [1] p. 20 cm. Set
against the Indian Wars in Canada, a French army officer's daughter
experiences reflect Mme. de Maintenon's anti-Huegenot influence in the
French court. (HFG-4781)
|
Serialized as The Fear of God. |
. |
This romance has for its opening scene the
France of Louis the Fourteenth, gretest of all French monarchs.
Fighting and brave deeds, court luxury and prison squalor, hope and despair-all
have their place in the story as it is told in the peron of Michelle de
Maniscamp, a young and spirited French Huguenot girl of the noble house
of Aulone. It is a gay throng that frequents the spendid court of
Versailles, where one glimpses Madame de Maintenon, Louis "the Sun King"
himself, dashing courtiers and ladies famed for their wit and beauty.
The action moves to the English
court at Whitehall, where the scepter is already slipping from the feeble
hold of the ineffectual King James, and then shifts to the New World,
where at Quebec are enacted some of the most stirring scenes in a story
crammed with movement and life. "Fearing Gold Alone" is the motto
of Michelle's noble house, and to abide by it she suffers persecution
and anguish before she attains love and happiness. This story is
a vivid recreation of one of the most illustrious periods of the history
of the New World and one of the most significant in that of the New and
it is as well a most enchanting romance. "The Drums of Aulone" is a notable
achievement. - D. Appleton and Company ad. |

Nancy
Topsfield, daughter of a sea captain killed by pirates, dresses as a
boy to war with all pirates. Working as an indentured servant in a pirate
tavern, she prevents ruined rich boy John Ross from signing on with
Captain Death. Ross turns pirate hunter and the two become involved
with famous pirate of the day including Edward Teach, "Blackbeard" himself.
An arresting collection of tales set during the Age
of Piracy and including such luminaries as Captain Kidd, Black-Beard,
Mary Read, Calico Jack, and Anne Bonny. "..The east coast of North
America was infested by pirates when the Colonies were young. These
sea-wolves roamed singly or in packs along the lanes of trade. They
came into harbours and took merchant vessels under the noses of enraged
governors and horrified citizens. Sometimes they landed and laid a port
under contribution. Between the years 1690 and 1720 there were more
than two thousand pirates afloat off our coasts between Maine and Florida.
On New Providence Island, in the Bahamas, and dreadfully convenient
to our coast, more than two thousand more of this sea gentry loafed
about to acknowledge the Royal Proclamation, accept the King's pardon,
go to sea again in pretense of honest privateering, turn pirate once
more at the first opportunity, and end, often, on Execution Dock. This,
then, was the situation confronting the sea-board population of America
in 1700. New York City had become a stench in the nostrils of England,
and was called a pirates' nest. Virginia named the Albemarle Colony,
in Carolina, 'Rogue's Bay.' It was a strange century in our country,
ruthless and picturesque; and who were rogues and who honest folk, ashore
or afloat, is often very difficult to decide.." -- from the author's
Foreword.

Dust Jacket blurb -
This gay historical romance is laid in old New York and its neighboring
colonies during the brave days of the American revolution.
Captivating
Marie Guest, leading actress at the famous John Street Theatre and toast
of the town, is the heroine, and one of the most enchanting figures in
Mr. Chambers' distinguished allery of portraits. Vivacious, winsome,
dashing in manner, Marie is known everywhere as "The Painted Minx."
Yet
her heart is often sad forher lover, a handsome young officer in Washington's
amry. It is around this theme of lovers separated and endangered
amid the stir and excitement of war that the author presents one of his
most enchanting romances. THE PAINTED MINX is a story of direct
and intense appeal, set against a rich, carefully authenticated background
of Eightenth Century life. |
