About this book
The subtitle calls the book A Novel of the Second Administration of President Washington. The text says it was four o'clock when the captain set them ashore with their boxes on the slip in front of the warehouse of Mr. Wynne, the ship's owner. The text says De Courval looked forward with hope fed by youth, energy, and the simpler life.
The text describes grass growing in the roadway of the once busy street, with strange silence where men were used to move amid the noises of trade, and a woman running out of a house crying "They are dead! All are dead!" A man who had never in his life touched the dead picks up a little body, though with repugnance, and lays it on a door-step. The text says Mary Swanwick usually went with high courage to meet the calamities of life.
