Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Diary of Samuel Richards, Captain of Connecticut Line, War of Revolution, 1775-1781 IvUTlONARY Incidents To My Son: Recollecting how much I was entertained in my youth in hearing my father narrate incidents which occurred at the siege of Louisburgh on the island of Cape Briton, in the year 1745, where he acted a part I conclude it would not be less interesting to you to learn from me some of the many incidents with which I became personally acquainted during the revolutionary war; through which I served from the commencement to the end, and coming from an eye witness in whom you can confide; leaving it to you to consult the many able historians for general facts and results as they arose in this event full period, and which will be long remembered and passed down to posterity; and will loose none of their interest for many generations, but will rather expand with the advance of empire in this extensive republic: In narrating incidents it will naturally be supposed that in many instances circumstances which led to them, as well as the results which followed will necessarily be involved: in which it is my design to be as laconic as the nature of the case will admit: the field and the incidents are sufficiently ample without much digression or studied remarks. Those I have selected, and the manner of my treating them you will judge of by the sequel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
