Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of Moses and William Wallace and Their Descendants: Barton, Hunter, Wolfe This is the story of Moses and William Wallace, father and son, American soldiers in the War of the Revolution, and of some of their many descendants, with incidental reference to the Wallaces who preceded them in this country and to the Scotch hero, William Wallace. The primary purpose is to honor the American patriots first named, one of whom is buried in Washington county, Pennsylvania, where he died, and the other in the beautiful cemetery at Cumberland, Guernsey county, Ohio, where his last years were spent. This purpose seems particularly pertinent now when, more than ever before, it appears that the blood of the men who fought with Washington was the seed of a liberty that is to spread throughout the world. All of the Wallaces love to think that, in the same line of descent with them, stands William Wallace, the Scotch chieftain and hero, who more than six centuries ago, raised the standard of revolt against the tyranny of England and, after a period of success, fell a martyr to a cause, temporarily defeated, but undying. That chieftain was the son of a knight of good family in the southwest of Scotland. His birth, according to Blind Harry´s half-fabulous poem, occurred at Eller-slie; his boyhood was spent in Dundee and his young manhood in Ayrshire.
