Rivington furnished secret information to his Excellency while publicly in print he raged and sneered. But I must confess that in my long and amiable acquaintance with the gentleman he never, by word or hint or inference, so much as by the quiver of an eyelash, corroborated my suspicion, and to this day I do not know whether or not Mr. Rivington of friendliness to us, and this in spite of his Tory newspaper and the fierce broadsides he fired at rebels and rebellion. Gaine and his "Gazette," at intervals I violently suspected Mr. Although I had no illusions concerning Mr. That I was one of many agents I could have no doubt yet as long as I remained there I never knew but three or four established spies with residence in town. His Excellency's system of intelligence in the City of New York I never pretended to comprehend. WHOSE UNSELFISH FRIENDSHIP AND SOUND ADVICE

The author is not conscious of having taken any liberties with history in preparing a framework of facts for a mantle of romance. The present romance, the fourth in chronological order, picks up the thread at that point. The third romance, as yet incomplete and unpublished, deals with the war-path and those who followed it, led by the landed gentry of Tryon County, and ends with the first solid blow delivered at the Long House, and the terrible punishment of the Great Confederacy. That romance dealt with the first serious split in the Iroquois Confederacy it showed the Long House shattered though not fallen the demoralization and final flight of the great landed families who remained loyal to the British Crown and it struck the key-note to the future attitude of the Iroquois toward the patriots of the frontier-revenge for their losses at the battle of Oriskany-and ended with the march of the militia and Continental troops on Saratoga. The fourth is the present volume.Īs Cardigan pretended to portray life on the baronial estate of Sir William Johnson, the first uneasiness concerning the coming trouble, the first discordant note struck in the harmonious councils of the Long House, so, in The Maid-at-Arms, which followed in order, the author attempted to paint a patroon family disturbed by the approaching rumble of battle. The first romance of the series, Cardigan, was followed by the second, The Maid-at-Arms.
