Summary:

"The aim here is to tell some American history in terms of the extraordinary country-wide collection of some sixty houses and other landmarks with which The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America is concerned. Known among themselves as the "Dames," that is how they will be designated here. The book is concerned with them only to the extent of bringing their historical activities out from behind the scenes, where for years the Dames have worked their wonders."--Foreword.
