Excerpt from The Yemassee: A Romance of CarolinaThe text followed in this edition of The Yemassee, except for the omission of the useless bits of verse at the beginnings of the chapters, is that of the second copyright edition, 1853. It has seemed advisable to republish this edition, rather than that of 1835, because from its title-page we learn that it was new and revised in 1853. And certainly many alterations, generally for the better, were made in it from the earlier edition. Simms was always a hasty, often a superficial, worker, however, and many mistakes are to be found in both the first and the second editions, some newly made in 1853, others unnoticed and uncorrected from 1835. In the present text the 1853 edition has been carefully collated with that of 1835 and all the flagrant errors in the former corrected. All such corrections or alterations from the later text, however, have been carefully indicated, either by brackets or in the foot-notes. But, after all, it is to be regretted that many probable errors may still be found in the present edition. For this the editor offers as his excuse the fact that he has been extremely unwilling, except when absolutely necessary, to tamper with the authenticated text of the author.The editor takes this opportunity to express his thanks to Mr. William Gilmore Simms, of Barnwell, South Carolina, and to Dr. Thomas M.Owen, of Montgomery, Alabama, for the loan of various books which he has needed in editing this text.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Quite an exciting book By Schmerguls This book was published first in 1835 but as 19th century novels go I found it fairly well-done, and holding my interest. There is a lot of melodrama, and the Indians are portrayed with some balance. There are some racist-like views, and a silly scene where Hector, a slave, begs his good master not to set him free. But the account is fast-moving and event follows rapidly on event. The scene is 1715 in South Carolina, and involves an Indian insurrection which actually happened, tho it is pretty hard to find much about it in history sources. Some of the speeches put in the mouths of characters in the extremely stressful situations in which they find themselves are not without humor to today's reader. It is said this is the best of Simms' novels, and knowing that makes me think some of his other novels might be fun to read--this one is.
