Excerpt from The Exiles: A Tale
IN sending these pages into the world, I would wish, before everything else, to guard myself against the supposition that, in the background on which their contents are drawn, I have intended to give a picture of North America. As such, my book would be in the highest degree imperfect. It is not a, picture of America which I would here unroll before my readers, but American pictures, as, in my experience of many years, I have beheld them.
