Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Voice From Bunker-Hill, and the Fathers of the Revolutionary War, in Favor of the Hero of North-Bend, Being a Few Candid Remarks and Observations on the Approaching Presidential Election, and Subjects Connected Therewith At the suggestion of many friends, in both the great political parties, and with a deep sense of the importance of the undertaking, I have concluded to attempt in a very feeble and crude manner, giving to the public the result of my experience and observation in reference to the great subject that at this time engrosses public attention. I frankly confess my inability properly to pursue so high and important a subject, and probably shall be found deficient in many points, in placing my views and ideas on paper for public perusal; nevertheless, not being entirely without experience in this matter fortified by the strength of native freedom and induced by the spirit of American liberty, I enter upon the task with a firm resolution, in the spirit of truth and candor, divesting myself of all party bins, to present the case fairly before the people. If I were a believer in dreams, visions or the visitations of the deceased to their friends, in this world, I might relate some experience in these things, if for no other purpose perhaps for the amusement of the reader, at the strange freaks and waywardness of the human mind. It matters not much in what I am about to attempt, that in the silent watches of the night, I had a very remarkable revelation on this subject, apparently a Bunker Hill itself. It appeared to me that near the monument, were a number of people unknown to me, dressed like the old continentallers, and then "in the twinkling of an eye," in white robes; one of the number near me fell at my feet as if lifeless, but still looking on me with a heavenly smiling countenance. One said to me, this is Thomas, - meaning Thomas Parks, a volunteer in the battle of Bunker Hill. I supposed the person who spoke was my father; and by their presence I felt compelled to write. Thomas Parks, my uncle, was in the battle of Bunker Hill, and continued through all the revolutionary war. He had ever a particular regard for me, and it appeared to me as if the venerated man, (long since deceased,) was with me on the sacred hill, in his old continental suit; and in a feeling, friendly manner embraced me.
