An American Princess
Born to a pioneering family in Upstate New York in the late 1800s, Allene Tew was beautiful, impetuous, and frustrated by the confines of her small hometown. At eighteen, she met Tod Hostetter at a local dance, having no idea that the mercurial charmer she would impulsively wed was heir to one of the wealthiest families in America. But when he died twelve years later, Allene packed her bags for New York City. From the vantage point of the American upper class, Allene embodied the tumultuous Gilded Age. Over the course of four more marriages, she weathered personal tragedies during World War I and the catastrophic financial reversals of the crash of 1929. From the castles and châteaus of Europe, she witnessed the Russian Revolution and became a princess. And from the hopes of a young girl from Jamestown, New York, Allene Tew would become the epitome of both a pursuer and survivor of the American Dream.

Summary of Annejet Van Der Zijl's An American Princess
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Tews were among the first to venture into the then-uncharted wilderness around Lake Chautauqua in New York. They bought 3,337 acres on the north side of the lake. #2 Jamestown was the first American settlement, and it was founded by the Prendergasts in 1811. It was a difficult start, but the pioneers were young and determined, and they rebuilt their tiny village on the Chadakoin River from scratch each time it burned down. #3 Jamestown was a village in upstate New York that was a center of the Industrial Revolution. It was here that the first elections for a village council were held in 1827, and the first collective activity was the fire brigade. #4 One of the few people in the middle class to do so, William advertised openly in the Liberty Press, the antislavery movement’s newspaper, which had garnered a lot of support among the North American bourgeoisie. The Civil War ended in 1865, and Jamestown flourished.
