Excerpt from The Trail of the Grand Seigneur At the foot of Ontario the old hamlet drowses in its simple peace, the peace of an old military post which fronts the waters where once two warring na tions, now at amity, maintained embattled fleets whose psuedo - wrestlings, after all, were productive of but little more mortality than wind and wave now entail to the following of the peaceful pursuits of commerce. There is but little at the old post to perpetuate its memories of former glories. Only the barracks, where, from time to time, some regiment of U. S. Regulars rests from the labors of campaign ing; the old graveyard where lie the bones of Pike and other patriots of the struggle of 1812; the bat tleground where the batteries once frowned; manned by simple sons of the soil, who, witha], were Amer icans, and therefore marksmen for the world to mar vel at. Only these, and some odd scraps of history, some hoary traditions, and the intangible something of the thrilling past that hovers in the atmosphere of the old town. These are all, but they make of it a thing alive; they resurrect the past. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
