Mistress Brent: A Story of Lord Baltimore's Colony in 1638 is a historical fiction novel by Lucy Meacham Thruston. The book is set in the early years of the Maryland colony, established by Lord Baltimore as a haven for Catholics in the New World. The story follows the life of Mary Brent, a wealthy and independent woman who becomes embroiled in a power struggle with the colony's governor, Leonard Calvert.Mary Brent is a widow who has recently arrived in Maryland with her two young sons. She is determined to establish herself as a successful landowner and businesswoman, but her plans are thwarted by Calvert, who sees her as a threat to his authority. Calvert is a devout Catholic and is wary of Mary's Protestant background, as well as her independent spirit.As the conflict between Mary and Calvert intensifies, Mary finds herself drawn into the politics of the colony. She becomes an advocate for the rights of women and the poor, and her actions ultimately lead to a showdown with Calvert that has far-reaching consequences for the colony.Mistress Brent is a richly detailed and engaging novel that brings the early years of the Maryland colony to life. Thruston's vivid descriptions of the landscape and the people of the colony, as well as her deep understanding of the politics and social dynamics of the time, make this a compelling read for anyone interested in American history or historical fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
