Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration: Delivered at Cambridge, on the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Declaration of the Independence of the United States of America Fellow Citizens, It belongs to us, with strong propriety, to celebrate this day. The town of Cambridge, and the county of Middlesex, are filled with the vestiges of the Revolution; withersoever we turn our eyes, we behold some memento of its glorious scenes. Within the walls, in which we are now assembled, was convened the first provincial Congress, after its adjournment at Concord. The rural magazine at Medford reminds us of one of the earliest acts of British aggression. The march of both divisions of the Royal army, on the memorable nineteenth of April, was through the limits of Cambridge; in the neighbouring towns of Lexington and Concord, the first blood of the Revolution was shed; in West Cambridge, the Royal convoy of provisions was, the same day, gallantly surprised by the aged citizens, who staid to protect their homes, while their sons pursued the foe.
