Excerpt from The Youth of the Old Dominion Many narratives of our early history which are particularly designed for novices are read as tasks, laid aside with a sense of weariness, and their statistical details soon forgotten. I venture an experiment, endeavoring to give to the Past the aspect and hue of Life, to excite a personal interest in events which would secure little or none as unclothed facts. For this purpose, something of fancy has been necessarily admitted, but all idea of fiction is seriously disclaimed. Any one familiar with the annals of youthful Virginia will here recognize, it is believed, a scrupulous regard to historic truth. A volume designed for popular reading need not be encumbered with references. They might have been given profusely, but will be found only where some statement in the text has seemed particularly to require them.

Excerpt from A Son of the Old Dominion One soft yet brilliant day of spring found Captain Geoffry Flower - as handsome a young sprig of His Majesty King George III.'s Royal Dragoons as one would be likely to see in a month o' Sundays - riding along the shady road of a wooded ridge on the west bank of the Potomac in Virginia. Cap-a-pie, the horseman was equipped with nice regard for the requirements of military undress in an officer of wealth and station; his rosy Saxon cheeks, his bright blue eyes, his athletic figure, his look of vigorous health; the mounted servant, the pack-horses carrying portmanteaux and sundry rich accoutrements - all these should have ensured their owner against a clouded brow. But to Flower the times were evidently out of joint; his open face wore something nearly akin to a blush, combined with something very like a frown. Here was his grievance.

Excerpt from Stories of the Old Dominion: From the Settlement to the End of the Revolution Instead of passing his time in idleness with other young men in the town of Willoughby, he went out to the woods near, and built a sott of house for himself of the boughs of trees. In this he intended to live, and as to supporting himself, -he meant to shoot deer and live on the venison. He then got together as many books as he could on war like matters, and retiring to his Bower, as he called it, set about studying them. By this means he taught him self the art of war; but as he knew that a soldier must fight with his own hands, be resolved also to learn how to use every sort of weapon. At that time men fought on horseback often, and one of the most important of their weapons was the lance. This was a long wooden affair with a sharp iron point, and soldiers held the head straight in front of them, to strike their enemies as they rode against them at full gallop. Young John Smith had a horse and lance, and he now practised to make himself skilful. This he did by Suspending a ring to the bough of a tree, after which he went off to some distance and rode at it at full gallop, pointing his lance at the ring, in order to carry it off from the bough. By repeating this over and over, he at last became expert in it, and then he knew he could strike an enemy on horseback. He also practised with his sword to make his eye keen and his wrist tough, and fired at the trees with his pistol to be come an expert marksman. By this means he grew to be a skilful soldier; and then he set out in search of advent ui'cs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
