Reproduction of the original: Floyd Grandon's Honor by Amanda M. Douglas

Tight and taut tale of love and honor by Douglas. Recommended.

Amanda Minnie Douglas (1831-1916) was an American writer of adult and juvenile fiction. She was probably best remembered by young readers of her day for the Little Girl and Helen Grant series published over the decades flanking the turn of the twentieth century. Douglas began by submitting short stories and poems to local publications. In time her stories appeared in editions of The New York Ledger, Saturday Evening Post and the Lady's Friend Magazine. Her first novel, In Trust, was published in 1866 and sold some 20,000 copies. Learning from this first experience, Douglas made sure to retain the copyrights on all of her future works. She would go on to publish at least a novel a year until her retirement in 1913.

"A Little Girl of Long Ago; Or, Hannah Ann: A Sequel to a Little Girl in Old New York" by Amanda M. Douglas is a simple book that was written to help young boys and girls learn about the history of New York.Told through the eyes of its titular character Hannah Ann, the book narrates what life was like for children, particularly young girls, and how changes throughout history touched all parts of society.
