Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Considerations on the Siege and Defence of Fort Stanwix, in 1776: Read Before the New York Historical Society, June 19th, 1845 I have chosen for consideration, a passage in the eventful story of war of the American revolution. Few subjects are fraught with more intrinsic interest to the history of man, and his progress in the scale of civilization, than this remarkable appeal to arms. Historians have, as yet, failed to render ample justice to the event. That a mere handful of people, not over three millions at utmost - scattered over a wide continent, without a government - without funds - without arms destitute, indeed, of all the means of sovereign action, but such as the occasion called forth - that such a people - so few in numbers, so dispersed and so destitute, should have prevailed against the most powerful nation of modern times, is still the most signal event in the history of human government.
