there it sticks.”[1] Simms informed Lawson in January of 1839 that
Damsel would be published with Lea
& Blanchard of Philadelphia, who would pay $1000 for a first edition of
3,000 copies; in the meantime, Simms was busy revising the “numerous errors of

colonize the New World. Within this
exploration, Simms treats the adjustment of Spanish culture from Medieval to

ruling class corruption, the alienation of racial and national minorities, and
the historic De Soto expedition to mainland North America. ... |
