Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Documents Relating to the Revolutionary History of the State of New Jersey, Vol. 4 The dominant tone of this volume is War! War! War! Here are detailed the movements of both armies during much of 1779 and 1780. We have the details of the British raids on Newark and Elizabethtown in January, 1780, accompanied by their harsh and unnecessary cruelty pages - 151-3, 155, 166-8, 174-9, 180-2, 188-9, 221, 394-5; of the raid on Bergen County near Fort Lee, in March, 1780 - pages 253, 257, 280, 306-8, 321, 323-4, 378; of the attack on Connecticut Farms and Elizabeth in June, 1780 - pages 414-18, 421-424, 432, 433, 439, 440, 441, 445-6, 448, 449, 451-3, 455, 457, 461-2, 464-5, 474-7, 480, 481-4, 490, 492-98, 531-7, 564-5, 568; the raid of the British by way of the Newark meadows and their approach on Newark in May, 1780 - pages 394-5, 402, 501; the British raid on Woodbridge, in May, 1780 - page 406; the bold exploits of the daring New Jersey Refugee, Ensign Moody, May, 1780 - page 552. The attack on Connecticut Farms, accompanied by the burning of the Presbyterian Church and the murder of Parson Caldwell´s wife, elicited a practically unanimous cry of horror from all men of the time in whose bosoms a spark of humanity remained. By way of contrast we have the spectacle of the cold-blooded indifference of a New Jersey Refugee, who viewed the remains of the martyred woman apparently without a feeling of regret - an indifference even more horrid than the barbarity which had wrought her death - pages 564-5.
