Early History, Daughters of the American Revolution #227385

The history of the founding of the Society, and of the first two years succeeding, is preserved in the Smithsonian Report 1890 — 1897, published by the United States Congress. Other accounts have been printed that differed from the official statements sufficiently to cause uncertainty among the chapters. From different States at varying intervals come earnest requests for a condensed official history of those early months in such form that every chapter can have access to it.
