Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mother of Washington: And Her Times
Thus American history defrauds these noble mothers of their crown - not self - won, but won by their sons. Letitia Romolino was known to few, while the fame of Madame Mere is as universal as the glory of Napoleon himself. But Madame Mere had her historian. The pioneer woman of America, who broke the way with tears, retires into dark ness and oblivion; while many follow with a song the son to whom she gave her life and her keen intelligence born of her strong faith and love.
