Excerpt from Daring Deeds of American Heroes: With Biographical Sketches
The object of the following pages is to place upon permanent record a continuous account of the "daring deeds" of the heroes of our country. The work makes no claims to originality of matter. We have gathered from all authentic sources within our reach interesting and important incidents which have transpired from the commencement of the Revolutionary struggle, to the conclusion of the Mexican war, whether upon sea or land, in which our countrymen have borne a part. Our design has been to form a book of attractive and popular reading - to embalm in the memory of the American people, the sacrifices, the patriotism, the heroism, the sufferings and dangers of those to whom we owe the achievement and the preservation of our freedom. The Revolutionary struggle was indeed a time of peril.
