Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Begum's Daughter A Natural surprise will be felt by those not critically acquainted with early New York history to find so extraordinary a personage as the Begum introduced as a resident of the little Dutch town of two centuries ago. Her name, marriage, and residence there are, however, recorded as facts in more than one work of high authority. Until lately these statements have not been questioned. Now, however, there comes forward a sceptic who, by the citation of a passage from the family record in a famous old Bible, throws doubt upon the whole matter. Reluctantly, therefore, we hand the point over to the pundits to settle, and sadly confess ourselves unable to vouch for the identity of one of the most interesting persons in our drama. Of the numerous authorities consulted for what is true in the following story, the greater part are dead and gone.
