Excerpt
HISTORY supplies the most romantic part of this Historical Romance. The main incidents of Lord Edward Fitzgerald's marvellous career, as herein set down, his stirring adventures in the American War of Independence, even his adoption into the Indian tribe of the " Great Bear," are absolutely true. For the rest, though some liberties have been taken with dates, the pictures of Ireland's condition under the "Penal Laws" are painted from life
