Excerpt from Military Journal, During the American Revolutionary War, From 1775 to 1783: Describing the Events and Transactions of This Period, With Numerous Historical Facts and Anecdotes IT is through your earnest solicitations, my dear friends, that I commit to public inspection the crude fragments recorded in my Military Journal, kept during the American Revolutionary War. The subordinate station which I sustained did not permit access to the great source from which all important events derived their origin; nor was I made acquainted with the views and motives of action. The transactions and occurrences which I shall relate, though of minor import, and penned for temporary amusement, are nevertheless of a nature too deeply interesting to be consigned to obliv ion.

This production may, moreover, subserve the purpose of an epitome of the history of the revolutionary contest, and abridge in some measure the labor of the youthful mind in the study of the more elaborate and technical histories of that ever-memorable epoch. With this view, I have prefixed a short sketch of interesting transactions prior to the actual commencement of hostilities. History, says a late elegant writer, pre sents no struggle for liberty which has in it more of the moral sublime than that of the American revolution. It has been of late years too much forgotten in the sharp contentions of party; and he who endeavors to with draw the public mind from these debasing conï¬‚icts, and to fix it on the grandeur of that epoch, which, magnificent in itself, begins now to wear' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
