Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Institution and Records of the New Hampshire Society of the Cincinnati: Formed by the New Hampshire Officers of the Revolutionary Army of the United States for the Laudable Purposes Herein Stated The revival of interest in organizations created to perpetuate the memory of the participants in the War for Independence and in the study of the history of that period, has attracted attention to the record of the New Hampshire branch of the Society of the Cincinnati. Our state organization has not had an active existence for many years, but the official record came to the custody of the New Hampshire Historical Society in 1842. In deference to the desire expressed in many ways that this record should be made more accessible to the public, it has been included in this work. The present Secretary of the New Hampshire Historical Society, who has consented to this use of the original MSS. volume, makes the following statement in reference to it: "We cannot honor the New Hampshire heroes of the Revolution beyond what they deserve. Men, taken from the common pursuits of life, were changed at once into successful leaders on many bloody battlefields, in defense of liberty, of home and country; successful, against the best trained soldiers of Europe, as at Bunker Hill and Bennington. The priceless heritage they won, is ours to-day. They live in their brave deeds and in every page of their history that is preserved. The following letter breathes the true spirit, both of preserving their records and honoring their memory and their principles: North Yarmouth Centre, State of Maine, October 24, 1842. Rev. Nathaniel Bouton, Cor. Sec´y N. H. H. Society : Dear Sir: I wish to present to the New Hampshire Historical Society (Through the hands of my Nephew, J. Wingate Thornton, Esq.) the book and papers of the New Hampshire branch of the Society of the Cincinnati, which has become extinct by the death of all the members; my Father, Daniel Gookin, was the last of the original members, he has been dead about 12 years.
