Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Heritage: A Story of Defeat and Victory
IN my father's journal have I read often the story of that day, till it seems almost a memory of my own. Sunday it was, and the weather cold and bleak, with no promise in it, yet, of spring. Seven horses were hitched to the long rack beside the house, and near by stood a gig, which, by a certain Sleek smugness, bespoke the doctor. Three negro grooms, in as many liveries, were gulping rum and wide-mouthed gossip in the kitchen; While their masters, in the library, also partook of spirits, though of a choicer brand.
