Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Virginia Before introducing to the reader, to the English reader at any rate, so many old friends and well remembered scenes from Virginian life, it seems to me that it would be not wholly amiss to give some slight historical account of the Old Dominion itself. I am perfectly aware of a certain incongruity in prefacing sketches of so light a character with anything in the shape of a historical essay. An author, however, may be allowed perhaps some license in this particular so long as he distinctly labels such a chapter with an unmistakable title. For no reader of a light work, I take it, considers himself bound to read the intro duction. And that there is perhaps even less occa sion than usual in this case, so far as the continuity of this little book is concerned, I will frankly admit. Having thus, I trust, made my peace with those who have no curiosity whatever regarding the past history of Virginia, I will remind those who have that this.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of an Old Town: Hampton, Virginia The sacrifice at that time was deemed a military necessity, and the soldier-citizens who owned theancient homesteads in the beautiful little city of doom were selected to consign them to the devouring flames, and this they faltered not in doing with heroic hands, though heavy hearts. The torch was never held so high, though only dust and ashes remain for witness. But high motives ennoble even the most tragic mistakes of history, and this was one of them in the kingdom of broken swords.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heart's Highway: A Romance of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century In 1682, when I was thirty years of age and Mistress Mary Cavendish just turned of eighteen, she and I together one Sabbath morning in the month of April were riding to meeting in Jamestown. We were all alone except for the troop of black slaves straggling in the rear, blurring the road curiously with their black faces. It seldom happened that we rode in such wise, for Mistress Catherine Cavendish, the elder sister of Mistress Mary, and Madam Cavendish, her grandmother, usually rode with us - Madam Judith Cavendish, though more than seventy, sitting a horse as well as her granddaughters, and looking, when viewed from the back, as young as they, and being in that respect, as well as others, a wonder to the countryside.

He was merely riding to a distant part of the plantation he controlled, to inspect the work of the negroes there and to give directions for its proper doing. But he liked the company of his dogs and enjoyed their mad relish of the morning. The glory of it gladdened his own spirit in Spite of the vexing problems that were never quite absent from his mind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life in Old Virginia, Vol. 1 When I am old and feeble, And cannot work any more, Then carry me back to Old Virginia, To Old Virginia's shore. This sentiment doubtless was most forcibly expressed in the year 1907, during which there was witnessed an international celebration of the first permanent settlement of the English speaking people upon the American continent. In aid of this event the Congress of the United States passed an Act approved March d, 1905, entitled "An Act to provide for celebrating the birth of the American Nation, the first permanent settlement of English speaking people on the Western hemisphere, by the holding of an international naval, marine and military celebration in the vicinity of Jamestown in the waters of Hampton Roads, in the State of Virginia, to provide for the suitable and permanent Commemoration of said event and to authorize an appropriation in aid thereof and for other purposes." The Act authorized the President of the United States to make public proclamation of this celebration, "inviting foreign nations to participate by the sending of their naval and such representatives of their military organizations as may be proper." The proclamation fixed the time of the beginning of the celebration on May 13, and ending not later than November 1, 1907.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Douglass Farm: Juvenile Story of Life in Virginia There is no Home Book for Christmas and New Year's Day; but, instead of a proverbial tale, Cousin Alice greets you with one that she has read and approved, and commends to all who have her own volumes on their book-shelves. In her Christmas story four years ago - a long time for little people to remember, - she promised some day to give a description of the Old Virginia Homestead in which it was written. That was in the introduction to Patient Waiting no Loss, which will prove true in this instance; for the story of Douglass Farm describes these very scenes - the old Hall, the lawn, the avenue, the chubby little negro children who ran to Open the carriage gate in our drives, the Aunties and Uncles of the large kitchen department, - the bountiful Christmas cheer, and the little people for whom it was made ready. All this is described by the young hostess who welcomed her to Margret Hall, - and far better than Cousin Alice would have been able to, inasmuch as it was her birthplace and childhood's home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Virginia Cousin, and Bar Harbor Tales Mr. Theodore Vance Townsend awoke to the light of a spring morning in New York, feeling at odds with Cousin the world. The cause for this state of variance with existing circumstances was not at sight apparent. He was young, good-looking, well-born, well-mannered, and, to support these claims to favorable consideration, had come into the fortunes of a father and two maiden aunts, - a piece of luck that had, however, not secured for him the unqualified approbation of his fellow-citizens. Joined to the fact that, upon first leaving college, some years before, he had led a few cotillons at New York balls, his wealth and leisure had brought upon Townsend the reproach of the metropolitan press to the extent that nothing short of his committing suicide would have induced it to look upon anything he did as in earnest.

Copyright (c) 2022 by Lauren Martin. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus reminds kids, teens and adults that Santa Claus "exists as certainly as love, generosity and devotion exist. The most real things in this world are those that no child or adult can see." Editorial Review: "Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus, adapted and illustrated by Lauren Martin, shares a magnificent retelling of a true event that occurred many years ago at Christmas. In 1897 a young girl named Virginia was having doubts about the existence of Santa Claus. Her friends assured her that Santa was not real, so Virginia wrote a letter to the newspaper in search of an answer. The editor, Francis P. Church, responded with a wonderful and inspiring letter of hope and faith. Lauren Martin has beautifully captured the essence of this response and shares an inspiring and child-friendly version in this lovely book. The original editorial response is also included at the end of the book. Filled with charming and colorful illustrations, this heartwarming story will delight children and readers of all ages. Lauren Martin's adaption of Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus is a joyful and hope-filled retelling of the beloved original letter. Young readers will be captivated as this story highlights the wonder and magic of Christmas. Children are encouraged to believe in things that are not seen or easily proven, but that certainly exist such as love and hope. This beautiful message is important for children and adults alike to remember during the holiday season and throughout the year. The inclusion of the original letter helps children to understand that the existence of Santa has been questioned for many years and the editor's affirming response heartens children to believe that joy and goodness exist in the world. This uplifting book is highly recommended and will surely become a treasured addition to any library." 5-Star Review by Melinda Facal for Readers' Favorite.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Gentlemen of Virginia: A Novel of the Old Regime in the Old Dominion In this novel I have endeavored to fulfil one of the chief functions of history in the modern conception of historical writing. Incidentally to the telling of a love story, I have sought to present a faithful picture of the life of the time and region of which I have written; to set forth its manners, habits and conditions with accuracy and in detail to por tray the character of the people, to show what were their ideals and their standards, and to present them as they were to readers of a later and far less picturesque time. In aid of this purpose I have mentioned many details of custom and condition which may seem trivial in themselves, but which are imperatively necessary to the verisimilitude of the picture.
