HEARTS COURAGEOUS
By
HALLIE ERMINIE RIVES
It is fresh and spontaneous, having nothing of that wooden quality
which is becoming associated with the term “historical novel.”
“Hearts Courageous” is made of new material, a
picturesque yet delicate style, good plot and very dramatic
situations. The best in the book are the defence of George
Washington by the Marquis; the duel between the English
officer and the Marquis; and Patrick Henry flinging the
brand of war into the assembly of the burgesses of Virginia
Williamsburg, Virginia, the country round about, and
the life led in that locality just before the Revolution, form
an attractive setting for the action of the story.
