Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Journal and Order Book of Captain Robert Kirkwood of the Delaware Regiment of the Continental Line: Part I, "A Journal of the Southern Campaign" 1780-1782; Part II, "an Order Book of the Campaign in New Jersey, 1777" "Render, therefore, to all their dues; Honour to whom honour is due." So far as Robert Kirkwood is concerned neither the State of Delaware nor the Historical Society of Delaware has obeyed this injunction. One of the most intrepid and fearless men Delaware has produced has received little notice and scanty praise. The MSS. volumes containing his "Journal" and his "Order Book" have been allowed to accumulate dust on a shelf of the library of the Historical Society for thirty-four years. In justice to a brave son of the State they are now published, with the following letter containing his ancestry: Dr. Lewis P. Bush: Dear Sir - When I saw you in Newark a few weeks since you requested me to furnish you a statement of any facts in my possession in regard to the ancestry and early history of Captain Robert Kirkwood. With this request I cheerfully comply, although at this distance of time perhaps little new can be given on the subject.
