Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Battles of Trenton and Princeton In my youth I spent many pleasant hours in listening to the residents of Trenton as they related the brave deeds of their fathers in the old war, and told the story of the trials and sufferings of the heroic men and women of the Revolutionary period, which they had heard directly from the lips of those who had taken a part in the struggle for independence. In my early manhood I began to take notes from the conversations of my mother and her aged friends, as they described the personal appearance and peculiarities of the rich merchant who had lived here in 1776 and for forty-five years thereafter; of the country miller who had entered the village as an American spy; of the beloved physician who had commanded the local military force; of her grandfather who had been one of the guides of the American army to the surprise at Trenton. After some years had elapsed I published a little pamphlet for private distribution, entitled "Trenton, One Hundred Years Ago," which gave a brief description of the citizens and their homes in the village as it appeared in 1776 and 1777. As I continued to study the past of this historic town, and found myself surrounded in official life by the manuscript records of those brave soldiers who fought for liberty in the hour that tried men´s souls, I compiled all the authentic military rolls which I could obtain, and published my "Official Register of the Officers and Men of New Jersey in the Revolutionary War."
