E-text prepared by David Garcia, Christine Aldridge, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"The Red City: A Novel of the Second Administration of President Washington" by S. Weir Mitchell is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set during the early years of American democracy, focusing on the lives of émigrés from France amidst the backdrop of President Washington's administration. The main characters include René de Courval, a young French nobleman, and his mother, Madame de Courval, as they navigate their tumultuous past while seeking a new life in America. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to René and his mother aboard the brig "Morning Star", arriving in Delaware in May 1792 after fleeing the turmoil of revolutionary France. The captain of the ship and René share a light-hearted conversation about their travels. However, upon reaching land, the story takes a more serious turn as Madame de Courval reflects on their tragic past, particularly the death of her husband. This emotional revelation prompts René to recount the harrowing details that led to their escape. They arrive in Pennsylvania, filled with hopes and fears about their future in this new world, even as they are confronted with the prejudices and complexities of American society, representing both the promise and the challenges of their new beginning.
