Please critique my intro?

Well, for one I think there is something lacking. It seems a little dull to me. It doesn't grasp to me. But, I think you should make it a little more exciting. Also, be more descriptive. I feel that this piece is all dialogue to me and that can bore a reader but, if you do add description, be sure not to over do it. All ask yourself questions about it, that a reader would want but, make it for your personal enjoyment also. Well, that's all I have to say. You have potential but, you need to dig more into it, to make it sound really well. Happy writing, and I would love to see this one day on bookshelves. I for one, love historical fiction. It's historical because of the date.
