Virginia: Or A Little Light On A Very Dark Saying is a novel written by Jacob Abbott and first published in 1855. The story is set in Virginia during the American Revolution and follows the life of a young girl named Virginia, who is the daughter of a wealthy plantation owner. Virginia's father is a loyalist to the British crown, which puts him at odds with his fellow colonists who are fighting for independence. As a result, Virginia and her family are forced to flee their home and seek refuge with the British army.Throughout the novel, Virginia is torn between her loyalty to her father and her growing sympathy for the American cause. She meets and falls in love with a young American soldier, which further complicates her feelings. The book explores themes of loyalty, love, and patriotism, and provides a unique perspective on the American Revolution from the viewpoint of a loyalist family.Overall, Virginia: Or A Little Light On A Very Dark Saying is a historical fiction novel that offers a glimpse into the lives of those who lived through the American Revolution, and the difficult choices they were forced to make in a time of great turmoil and upheaval.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
