Excerpt from Arnold, the American Traitor; Andr???, the British Spy; Washington, the Defender of Constitutional Liberty, the Father of His Country, the Commander-in-Chief of the American Army: Address, Delivered Before the Historical and Forestry Society of Rockland County, on February 22, 1881 I shall not ask much more than a passing notice today to the men who captured Andr???. Their lives and best deeds have been remembered in various addresses upon the opposite side of the river, and sometimes on these shores. We give all due honor to their memories, all just praise to their Virtues, and all glory to their example. The work of these simple men, in the most tryrng period of the Revolution, is so wrought into the history of the nation that it has became one of its chief transactions. It is enough to say that the three men proved to be above temptation, if we are to believe the best evidences before us. We must, however, regret that men like Andr???, and his friend Major Talhnadge, ever doubt ed. The integrity of the captors and regret also that the record was published more than once that they Were self appointed to the office of stopping well-dressed travellers, and men who perhaps would have rifled a traveller. It is a duty to say that Paulding had been twice captured by the British army, that Williams was but twenty - two years old, and the eldest of his three companions. Though young in years and poor in purse, they were rich in mature judgment, and in their work performed a service of immense value.
