Excerpt from The Battle-Fields of the Revolution: Comprising Descriptions of the Principal Battles, Sieges, and Other Events of the War of Independence; Interspersed With Characteristic Anecdotes
It was then that the national character first took that form and consistency which has ever since bound the Union together as with bands of adamant. Every incident of that heroic age possesses an interest for both old and young among our people, which attaches to no other period in our national annals. The men, and the women too, of the Revolution, have now nearly all passed away; but the memory of their deeds is still affectionately cherished, and our children, and our children's children, to the end of time, will ever recur to them as examples of patriotism and public virtue.
To aid in the preservation of the records of this glorious time, and to contribute to the wide dissemination of these bright examples, is the object of this volume.
