Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Journal or Historical Recollections of American Events: During the Revolutionary War This Journal or Diary of Events which occurred during our Revolutionary War, is published, verbatim, literatim et punctuatim, from a faithful copy, made in 1874, of the original Journal written by Elias Boudinot, and which was then in the possession of Joseph J. Mickley, of Philadelphia. That the publication of the same is merely carrying out the desire of the author, who wished to bequeath to posterity a true and ungarbled account of the important occurrences of those times, is attested to by himself, in the early pages of the Journal; as he says, "A great many interesting anecdotes, that happened during the American Revolutionary War, are likely to be lost to posterity, by the negligence of the parties concerned, in not recording them... I shall therefore without any attention to order,... set down those I have had any acquaintance with, attending principally to the truth of the facts." Consequently, we have here a gathering of anecdotes of vital historical interest, bequeathed to us by him who participated in many of the occurrences, or which were narrated to him, at the time of their inception, by other participants.
