Sample Book Insights:
#1 The woman who was watching the spectacle was Mrs. Frank Leslie, a journalist and descendent of Myles Standish. She was visiting her childhood home for the first time in nearly forty years. The Dauphine Street mansion seemed bigger than she remembered it.
#2 Miriam’s father, Auguste-Firmin, was born into a bizarre colonial culture in Saint-Domingue. He fled to Charleston, South Carolina, with his wife and four children, and opened a tobacco shop on King Street. In Philadelphia, he started a candle factory that failed within five years.
#3 The venture in Alabama was a disaster from start to finish. The settlers were not prepared for the challenges of the frontier, and they built rickety sixteen-by-twenty-eight-foot log cabins of poor lumber. They suffered repeated crop failures and epidemics, and life was harsh.
#4 Miriam’s birth was a mystery. Her parents, Charles and Caroline, were married in 1820, but they had financial difficulties soon after their marriage. In 1832, Charles took the remaining assets to New Orleans with a large entourage.
