The Continentals and ghostly tales in 19th century prose
A composite Richmond paper piece blends a wartime chant about the Continental troops with a serialized ghost story. It recounts a chilling white-clad apparition in a rural house, later revealed as a neighbor’s trick, and shifts to social concerns on cant phrases and a humorous inquest verdict about “brandy and water on the brain.”
