Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars: With an Account of Author´s Desperate Leap From a Swiftly Moving Train of Cars, and a Fatiguing Tramp of 1, 000 Miles Through Three Confederate States, in Making His Escape From a Prison-Pen At the earnest and repeated solicitations of many citizens I present this volume to the public, the chief of objects of which is to preserve in convenient form many personal incidents which enlivened the war for American Liberty - 1775-1783 - as well as the war for the preservation of the Union - 1861-1865. The sketches of the Revolutionary War are founded upon legends I fondly heard when a youth from revolutionary sires and their descendants, as well as from official reports and statements appearing in the newspapers of that period, while those relating to the Civil War furnished by the actors, some of whom are still living, are given that the heroic actions of my comrades may not be effaced by time, nor their wondrous deeds deprived of renown. The modest work is submitted with the fond hope that it may revive proud recollections in the hearts of all true Americans, and inspire them with patriotism and greater love of country, for which its braves sacrificed so much.
