Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Life and Times of Patrick Gass: Now Sole Survivor of the Overland Expedition to the Pacific, Under Lewis and Clark, in 1804-5-6; Also, a Soldier in the War With Great Britain, From 1812 to 1815, and a Participant in the Battle of Lundy´s Lane; Together With Gass´ Journal of the Expediti The design of preparing the following pages, was conceived during a period of leisure, and originally contemplated only a series of sketches for a weekly newspaper; but as the subj act grew under the hand of the author, the original design was abandoned and the work assumed its present form. For the sin of adding another to the innumerable books, we have no other apology to offer. A curiosity was expressed to have on record the adventures of its hero, and his eventful career promised material for an interesting story. We have done the best possible with our materials. If there be merit in the work, the reader will not be slow to discern it; if there be none, the public will not be backward about demonstrating that fact. The biography of its citizens is the History of a nation; and we trust that the reputation of history will not suffer from one departure in permitting the humble biography of a hero of the ranks, to stand by the side of those of the great and titled, who have been by common consent, but very untruthfully, held up as the exponents and exemplars of the nation.
