An Original Belle

Book cover
From the preface: One of the purposes of this story is to illustrate the power of a young girl not so beautiful or so good as many of her sisters. She was rather commonplace at first, but circumstances led her to the endeavor to be true to her own nature and conscience and to adopt
a very simple scheme of life. She achieved no marvelous success, nothing beyond the ability of multitudes like herself. I have also sought to reproduce with some color of life and reality
a critical period in our civil war. The scenes and events of the story culminate practically in the summer of 1863. The novel was not written for the sake of the scenes or events. They are employed merely to illustrate character at the time and to indicate its development.
A novel by Edward Payson Roe, an American author of the nineteenth century.
