’BEL
OF
PRAIRIE EDEN.
A ROMANCE OF MEXICO.
BY GEORGE LIPPARD, ESQ.,
AUTHOR OF
WASHINGTON AND HIS GENERALS, OR LEGENDS OF THE REVOLUTION,'
`THE QUAKER CITY,' &c., &c.,
You see, it is a sad and yet a beautiful story, stranger, and it begins on the wild prairie—goes
on in the city of Vera Cruz—winds up in Philadelphia. A sad story,
and I'm loath to tell it; but as we're here alone by the camp fire, and may never
see one another again, I'll tell it to you. But first, your word, stranger, that you'll
never tell it again, until I am dead!'
From the MSS. Journal of a Soldier of Monterey.
