To Have and to Hold introduced 20th-century readers to what would become the fast-paced historical thriller of today. Released on February 1900, it sold over 220,000 copies in just twelve weeks and launched the career of one of the South's most talented writers, Mary Johnston. The plot is tailor-made for action. A beautiful maid-of-honor, a ward of King James I, escapes marriage to a libertine nobleman, who is the king's favorite. She flees to colonial Virginia with a cargo of brides sent out by the Virginia Company of London and marries a rough, hard-working, settler. He turns out to be a former English soldier and a famous swordsman, who must now defend his wife against her former fiance who has tracked her to Jamestown. Less
