There are three stories in this book, each preceded by a poem. In his introduction, Townsend describes each story and its hoped-for purpose. The first story, set in Paris, is about slavery, which, Townsend says, will one day seem an almost 'mythical' thing. The second tale, he describes as the story of a young Northern truant abroad during the secession, while the third story is about how a small American town has been swallowed by the extension of a larger city.

Readers are transported to Princess Anne, an old seat of justice and gentle-minded town on the Eastern Shore, where eccentric citizens like Jack Wonnell and Meshach Milburn (or "Steeple-top") are identified by their hats. The first chapter alone sets the stage for a gripping tale of mystery, intrigue, and historical significance.
