Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Brave Deeds of American Sailors There was great excitement on the water-front of Machias, away down on the eastern coast of Maine, on Saturday, the ninth of May, 1775. Men and boys were running down to the wharf, shouting to each other as they ran; women were scurrying out of their kitchens, their aprons thrown over their heads, shrilly discussing matters with their neighbors; little children left of? their play to stare and wonder. A vessel had just come into the port from Boston. There was nothing unusual about that; many vessels came to Machias to load hay that grew on the rolling hills about the town, or lumber cut from the dense pine forests that bristled for miles behind the bay. But this craft brought big news. Something had happened in Boston that they all knew would change history. There could be no doubt of the meaning of the word that the crew from the vessel were spreading among the men of Machias, who had hurried down to the water to hear.
