Revolutionary Fights and Fighters (Classic Reprint) by Cyrus Townsend Brady Pdf
Excerpt from Revolutionary Fights and Fighters This book is designed to call to the attention of those interested in our early struggles, some of the most re markable of the great battles, heroic achievements and desperate undertakings through which we became a nation. No attempt has been made to cover all the events in the wars referred to. The author has chosen such as would serve to present a variety of incident, to illustrate the period and to exhibit the leaders and men. In the compiling of this book he has freely used every available source of information to which he had access, including the numerous printed volumes on the subject, and much material in manuscript form. Although the sketches a1e intended for populai 1eacli11g, it is believed that they ale accurate and reliable. Other volumes of the same character, covering the history of the wars and adventures in which we have been interested, from the voyages of Columbus to the capture of Manila, are in contemplation and preparation. That the stories may serve to stimulate patriotism and love of country, and to encou1age men to consemate themselves, with the devotion of theii forefathers, to the civic battles for freedom and honor which are still to be waged, is the hope of the author.
