DigiCat Memoirs of an American Lady: With Sketches of Manners and Scenery in America, as They Existed Previous to the Revolution

"Memoirs of an American Lady" is an autobiographical account of Anne Grant's time spent in America, combined with a biography of Catalina Schuyler, a member of a prominent New York family and Anne's earliest and most valued friend. The author describes her own idyllic childhood in pre-Revolutionary America and at the same time provides a vivid picture of New York colonial life. Grant also gives valuable information on Native Americans, their tribes, customs and conflicts; their family matters and political developments.
