Descriere

Published in 1793, THE EMIGRANTS was one of the first novels to contrast the rigid political structure and society of Europe with the utopian promise of America. Set on the western frontier of the new nation, this epistolary novel deftly combines a love story with rich descriptions of the landscape and of wilderness adventures, including one of the first instances of Indian captivity in American fiction.
