HELEN HALSEY:
OR,
THE SWAMP STATE OF CONELACHITA.
A TALE OF THE BORDERS.
BY W. GILMORE SIMMS,
AUTHOR OF “RICHARD HURDIS,” “THE YEMASSEE,” “THE
KINSMEN,” &C.
“Even so it was with me when I was young;
If we are Nature's, these are ours: this thorn
Doth to our rose of youth rightly belong;
Our blood to us, this to our blood is born;
It is the show and seal of Nature's truth,
Where Love's strong passion is imprest in youth:
By our remembrances of days foregone,
Such were our faults,—O! then we thought them none.”
Shakspeare.
NEW-YORK:
BURGESS, STRINGER & CO.

My Dear Randell:
I am reminded, in putting forth this little volume, or the
friendly interest which you took, nearly twelve years ago, in
the fortunes of another work of similar dimensions—my first
experiment in prose literature, Martin Faber,—which was then
issued from the press. The inscription of the present volume
with your name, may serve to recal, not unpleasantly to
your memory, with the circumstances of that period, the
recollection of
THE AUTHOR.
New-York, Oct. 1, 1844
