Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Virginians" by William Makepeace Thackeray is a historical novel published in 1857–59. This sequel to "Henry Esmond" follows twin grandsons George and Henry Warrington through turbulent times in both England and colonial Virginia.

George's miraculous return changes everything, setting the brothers on divergent paths that lead them to opposite sides of the American Revolution—yet their bond endures.
