Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Boys of ´76: A History of the Battles of the Revolution The story of the American Revolution - what our fathers accomplished,- -their hardships, heroism, and self-denial, in securing the independence of the country and in advancing liberty and happiness throughout the world - will have an interest and charm of its own so long as the desire for freedom exists in the hearts of men. In this volume an attempt has been made to give a concise, plain, and authentic narrative of the principal battles of the Revolution as witnessed by those who took part in them. Although the name of Elijah Favor may not be found on the Ryefield muster-roll, yet we have more than his counterpart in the person of Alexander Scammell, who fought at Bunker Hill, became Washington´s trusted adjutant-general, and who gave his life to his country at Yorktown; while Dodifer Hanscom, Esek Earl, and Nicholas Dolof are representative boys of the time. One hundred years have passed since "the Boys of´76" shouldered their muskets and fought for their liberties. The sufferings, hardships, hatreds, and barbarities of that struggle, all have passed away, and Americans and Britons are brothers; but the story of the struggle - the patriotism, self-denial, and devotion - will never be forgotten.
