In the Courts of Memory, 1858-1875
From Contemporary Letters
Description:... Here is the story of a fascinating sort of life, now vanished forever, by one who lived in the heart of it. Madame de Hegermann-Lindencrone was formerly Miss lillie Greenough, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and at seventeen she became the wife of Charles Moulton, the son of a well-known American banker, who had been a resident in Paris since the days of Louis Philippe. As Madame Charles Moulton she became an appreciated guest at the court of Napoleon III. After nine years of gaiety in the gayest city in the world came the war of 1870 and the Commune. Upon the fall of the Empire and the death of her husband Mrs. Moulton returned to America, where a few years later she married M. de Hegermann-Lindencrone, at that time Danish minister to the United States. - Jacket flap.
