Book excerpt: Excerpt from Laconia or Legends of the White Mountains and Merry Meeting Bay The principal scenes in the following legends are based for the most part on authenticated historical facts. The chief aim of the author has been to exhibit Nature in her wildest and most startling developments as well as in her tamer and more civilized features. All nations, whether civilized or savage, have some choice spirits who excel their fellows in natural and intrinsic worth and goodness, as well as others of a character diametrically the opposite. Yet, as a whole, every nation seems to exhibit the same general traits of Oppression, cruelty, and injustice, especially when holding another and a feebler race under its despotic sway.
