Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Captives of Abb's Valley: A Legend of Frontier Life
You desire to be great. I hope you may be all that your best friends anticipate. But never for. Get that the first step towards true greatness is to be good. My mother once repeated to me with tones of vo1ce, and an expression of countenance which I never can forget, and I repeat it to you as my most earnest counsel Remember the God of thy fathers, and serve him with a perfect heart and a willing mind. If thou seek him, he will be found of thee, but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.'
