Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Carolinians an Old-Fashioned Love Story of Stirring Times in the Early Colony of Carolina
In narrating the public incidents of their lives wherein they distinguished themselves, I have carefully followed the old records and best established authorities. Their private lives as here depicted are purely fiction. That there were great chivalry, steadfast endurance and splendid courage among those men upon whom the royal gift of Charles the Second devolved we cannot doubt, and to believe that there were heroes among them is an inspiring belief for us who live today and draw our blood and inspiration from those men whose motto was ever noblesse oblige. Should some who read these pages make afterwards a pilgrimage to a neglected comer of old St. Philip's, Charleston, S. C., and find for themselves the graves of those intrepid old leaders, Gov. Robert Johnson and C01. William Rhett, this story will at least have revived a grateful remembrance of great and good men who were faithful in peace and brave in war.
