Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tales of the Revolution: Being Rare and Remarkable Passages of the History of the War of 1775 The purpose of the writer of the following pages has been to revive some of the most interesting and instructive, and at the same time least generally known passages of the war of American Independence, in such a manner as to impress, to the best advantage, the character of that great contest, and of the men who conducted it, on those minds to whose good and gratification his labors have been chiefly addressed. This object, it was thought, might be best attained by a selection of campaigns, adventures, and anecdotes, which, while they would in their connection present something like a distinct outline of the whole war, would separately have the merit of lively narrative, striking incident, and comparative novelty, in such a degree as to fulfil, for the most part, all the desirable ends of fictitious composition, while they should combine with these the solid value and rational interest of truth. The style has been adapted (if the writer has fulfilled his design) to the supposed capacity and necessities of intelligent youth. In some instances it will be noticed that phrases of military import are left unexplained. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
