Book Overview

The Lost Prince: Facts Tending To Prove The Identity Of Louis The 17th Of France, And The Rev. Eleazar Williams, Missionary Among The Indians Of North America (1854) is a historical book written by John Halloway Hanson. The book explores the theory that Louis XVII of France, who was believed to have died in prison during the French Revolution, actually survived and lived the rest of his life in North America under the name Eleazar Williams. Hanson presents evidence and arguments to support this theory, including Williams' physical resemblance to the Bourbon family, his knowledge of French and royal customs, and various accounts from witnesses who claimed to have met Louis XVII in America. The book also delves into the political and social implications of such a discovery, as well as the personal struggles and tragedies faced by Williams in his life.Overall, The Lost Prince offers a fascinating exploration of a little-known historical mystery and sheds light on the complex and often tragic aftermath of the French Revolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
