Excerpt from Hohenzollern a Story of the Time of Frederick Barbarossa
Charmed by this coincidence which fixed the locale of the story, I have tried to work it out on old Germanic lines; to catch in some measure, without being too archaic, the spirit of the day; and to show the characters of the people who enter into the play as they were or might have been. Therefore, while it has, I trust, a historical flavor, it is not a his torical tale. Nor is it a sea-story. In fact, it is my first entry into a new field in which I promise myself the pleasure, with your encouragement, gentle readers, if I may have it, of further excursions.
