FLOWER DE HUNDRED
The Story of a Virginia Plantation.

BY
MRS. BURTON HARRISON.


One Volume, 12mo, Extra Cloth, $1.00.


The story deals with the peaceful times before the war, of the great struggle itself, and of the tragedies and comedies of the life that came after it. Mrs. Harrison is a Southern woman and was intimately associated with many of the scenes she describes. Indeed, there is foundation in fact for all the book contains.
