Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Daughter of Freedom: A Story of the Latter Period of the War for Independence
I am sure my daughter will join her voice with mine in protest.
The young man lashed his riding-whip against his boot as he looked down gravely at his little sister. It is but this, Byrd: I have joined our father's friends, and may have to fight against the enemies of our land.
Byrd turned pale, but as she arose to her feet her eyes shone. Don't let us talk of it before mother, she answered gently. Come, brother, we will go out, and you can tell me of your plans. It is such a little while her lips quivered and she glanced toward her mother such a little while since father fell, can you wonder at her distress? She whispered, as she slipped her hand in her brother's arm.
The young man nodded, and at a word from Byrd, went over and kissed his mother. We will not say any more about it now, mother, he said, and I know you will bid me God-speed when the time comes.
