Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Biographical Sketch of the Life of the Late Captain Michael Cresap Gentlemen: From the nature of the subject of the following memoir, as well as from that cordial and sincere affection I feel as a fellow-soldier, I take the liberty of dedicating to you the following sheets, containing a short narrative and defense of the character of not only a soldier but a hero. Accept, gentlemen, this first and last and only pledge in my power of an unceasing friendship - begotten in youth, strengthened by mutual sufferings, and matured with old age. It is doubtless an unpleasant reflection, that now in the decline of life we are placed in such circumstances as to preclude all the endearments connected with social intercourse. We can, however, collect our neighboring youth around us, and fight our battles o´er and o´er again, by our firesides; and when left alone, like Uncle Toby, build forts with brickbats and lay sieges with wooden guns and hickory sticks.
