Turning the yellowed half-sheets of a bound volume of colonial newspapers, Hawthorne reconstructs New England life in three stages: the sober provincial town of the decades before the French war, the excitement and horrors of the Old French War, and the bitter years of the Revolution as seen through the eyes of an old Tory.
A small, evocative piece of Hawthorne’s historical imagination, ideal for readers of Twice-Told Tales and early American history. Download the free EPUB.
