Memoirs of an American Lady

"Memoirs of an American Lady" is an autobiographical account of Anne Grant's time spent in America, combined with a biography of Catalina Schuyler, a member of a prominent New York family and Anne's earliest and most valued friend.

The author describes her own idyllic childhood in pre-Revolutionary America and at the same time provides a vivid picture of New York colonial life.

Grant also gives valuable information on Native Americans, their tribes, customs and conflicts; their family matters and political developments.
