Shoemaker, Edna Abigail Cooke Shoemaker, Edna Ireton Cooke A Little Maid of Old Philadelphia E-text prepared by Roger Frank, Neville Allen, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "A Little Maid of Old Philadelphia" by Alice Turner Curtis is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the American Revolution in 1778, the story follows a young girl named Ruth Pernell, who is navigating the challenges of war while remaining hopeful about the safety of her beloved dog, Hero. The narrative intertwines elements of childhood innocence and the realities of conflict, as young Ruth and her friend Winifred Merrill engage in imaginative play and thoughtful support for the American cause. At the start of the novel, we meet Ruth as she searches for her dog, Hero, who has gone missing amidst the British occupation of Philadelphia. Dealing with her worries, Ruth is reminiscent of modern children as she experiences typical daily life, though intertwined with the tension of war. The story quickly introduces key relationships and dynamics, such as her friendship with Winifred and the guardianship of her Aunt Deborah. Ruth's resolve to rescue Hero leads to the unexpected consequence of her attempting to confront General Howe, which sets the stage for her adventure and character growth throughout the unfolding narrative. The opening effectively establishes a blend of lighthearted childhood exploration and the weight of historical significance that is likely to intrigue readers interested in both coming-of-age tales and the American Revolutionary War.
