Excerpt from Camp-Fires of the Revolution: Or the War of Independence Far different was the scene on the plains. There, throughout the night, the whole park of artillery superintended by Washington in person, played upon the city of Boston, illuminating the sky with arches of fire, and dimming the pale light of the moon.
