Originally Published 1852 Features 11 Ink Illustrations Newly Edited with new typesetting for ease of reading. 22 Stories of Patriotism and bravery during the American Revolution. Contains some archaic punctuation and regional dialects or accented English. From the Preface of the book: To awaken in the minds of all Americans that veneration of the patriots and heroes of the War of Independence, and that emulation of their noble example which is so necessary to the maintenance of our liberties, are the objects of this little work. Every day's developments illustrate the importance of these objects. In the enjoyment of the freedom and prosperity of our country, we are apt to underrate the means by which that enjoyment was secured to us, and to forget the men who worked for that end. A knowledge of the toils and sufferings of the noble-hearted fathers of the Revolution is the best preventative, or curative, for this "falling off." War, clothed as it is, with horrors, is to be condemned, and the spirit which leads to it should be driven from the breasts of men. But generous devotion, strength of resolution, and far reaching skill, are things to be commended and imitated wherever displayed. In these pages, will be found stories of the chief men of the Revolution, so connected, by the manner in which they are narrated, as to give a general interest to them- "The Old Bell of Independence" being the rallying point of the veteran story-tellers. Contains some archaic punctuation and regional dialects or accented English.
