This only is known: That a human kindred, probably of some talent for coercing anarchy and guiding mankind, had, centuries ago, built its BURG there, and done that function in a small but creditable way ever since; kindred possibly enough derivable from "Thassilo," Charlemagne, King Dagobert, and other Kings, but certainly from Adam and the Almighty Maker, who had given it those qualities; and that Conrad, a junior member of the same, now goes forth from it in the way we see.

Another good example of her historical work is the "Reconciliation of Charlemagne with Thassilo of Bavaria."

She also painted a "Christ on the Cross."
