Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Beautiful, vivacious, and fearless, Agnes Leclerc was twenty-one years old when she met Prince Felix Salm, a Prussian officer in the Union Army at the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War. Their marriage took Agnes from smalltown America to battlegrounds around the world and finally to the royal palaces of Europe. The Prince and the Yankee is a Cinderella story that goes beyond happily ever after to show how strong Cinderella actually became.
