Riassunto

Russian deception? Bait and switch? What's the true story of Catherine the Great's daughter? Did two first-time authors rewrite history and uncover a historical fact that's been hidden for 260 years? Or is their theory wrong? You decide:

This is the inspiring (and possibly true) story of an illegitimate and unwanted Grand Duchess who journeys from riches to rags to find a lifetime of true love and happiness. History tells us that Duchess Anna Petrovna, the illegitimate daughter of Catherine the Great and the last King of Poland, Stanislaus Poniatowski, died very young. But what if that story was just another Russian deception and she actually lived? This book is filled with supporting genealogical and historical facts as well as possible theories to consider an alternative story: that Petrovna (now Ann Elizabeth de Daschkopf) came to America, got married, had seven children, settled in a rural pioneer Catholic community in Pennsylvania, reconnected to her childhood friend, Prince Demetrius Gallitzin, and lived to be 98 years old.
