Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In Blue and White: The Adventures and Misadventures of Humphrey Vandyne, Trooper in Washington´s Life-Guard In the multitude of stories based upon the campaigns and battles of the American Revolution, other phases of that immortal struggle for independence have been somewhat overlooked. No one of these Revolutionary episodes possessed more interest, or had a more direct effect upon the fortunes of the great strife, at its very beginning, than did that dastardly conspiracy against the patriot army at New York and the life of Washington, known as "the Hickey plot." That conspiracy has furnished the background for this story of Humphrey Vandyne, a trooper of the Life-Guard; and in the adventures and misadvensures of that devoted but often heedless young follower of the great chief, as here set down, may be discovered, it is hoped, not only fresh and interesting material bearing on the story of Washington and the Revolution, but a proof also of the excellence of that maxim, peculiar to no age and true in all lands, that "Eternal Vigilance is the price of Liberty."
