Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address at the Inauguration of the Hatborough Monument, Commemorating the Battle of the Crooked Billet: Delivered in Loller Academy, December 5, 1861 As you have gathered together here to-day, the battle of the Crooked Billet has been in imagination fought again. You have seen that little band of undisciplined yet patriotic men, with Lacey at their head, by the faithlessness of sentinels, and the treachery of their own countrymen, surprised at morning dawn by more than thrice their number of veteran troops. You have seen the enemy closing in upon them, from right and left, and rear and front - you have seen Downey, and Thompson, and Pinyard fall - you have seen Lacey with more than half his force break through the opposing foe, and make good his retreat; and, when your eye has followed them for a moment to a place of security, you have returned to look on scenes of cruelty, over which even the charity of an enemy would fain throw the mantle of oblivion. It is mine, to day, rather to read to you again the lessons your fathers wrote upon these fields with their blood; - to gather, from the breezes that play around this consecrated spot, the warnings and counsels that have been floating in them ever since they were breathed upon them by the spirits that departed here in the struggle for liberty. It is mine, to strike the key note of the monument, to interpret its history and its inscriptions, that it may at once begin its holy mission, by awaking the impulses of patriotism in our hearts. This monument is a tribute of gratitude, a witness that good deeds cannot die. The Bard of Avon said, "the evil that men do, lives after them, the good is off interred with their bones." It is not true; - evil and good are alike immortal. There are good deeds which so enwrap much that is evil, that the eye of man never beholds it, and there are evil deeds which cover a character with a dye of infamy so deep that an eternity of goodness could not wash it out. The predominant, good or evil, in an individual, a nation, a generation, stamps its character for ever. Good deeds live in the memory. Eighty three years have passed since the events occurred which we this day commemorate. Their memory is as green to day, as when those years began, and in view of subsequent events, they have assumed a magnitude they did not then possess. Good deeds not only live in memory - they are immortal in their influence - they are like seeds which spring up, a leaf, a twig, a tree, which every year spreads wider its branches and bears in richer luxuriance its fruits. The outburst of patriotism to day, throughout our land, is the ripe clusters from the vine our fathers planted and watered with their blood. The patriots, to whose memory your monument is reared, are doing more for their country to-day than when they died. The blood they shed upon these fields is more powerful to preserve our liberty, than it was to procure it. It nerves our spirits to endurance in the nation's holy cause, and ministers a withering rebuke to every cold heart and hesitating hand. But I have said that evil is immortal, no less than good. And there are evil deeds remembered here to-day. The men of the Revolution were not all patriots. The very service to which Lacey with his band was appointed, testifies that there were traitors then.

Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE A magisterial new work that rewrites the story of America's founding The American Revolution is often portrayed as an orderly, restrained rebellion, with brave patriots defending their noble ideals against an oppressive empire. It’s a stirring narrative, and one the founders did their best to encourage after the war. But as historian Holger Hoock shows in this deeply researched and elegantly written account of America’s founding, the Revolution was not only a high-minded battle over principles, but also a profoundly violent civil war—one that shaped the nation, and the British Empire, in ways we have only begun to understand. In Scars of Independence, Hoock writes the violence back into the story of the Revolution. American Patriots persecuted and tortured Loyalists. British troops massacred enemy soldiers and raped colonial women. Prisoners were starved on disease-ridden ships and in subterranean cells. African-Americans fighting for or against independence suffered disproportionately, and Washington’s army waged a genocidal campaign against the Iroquois. In vivid, authoritative prose, Hoock’s new reckoning also examines the moral dilemmas posed by this all-pervasive violence, as the British found themselves torn between unlimited war and restraint toward fellow subjects, while the Patriots documented war crimes in an ingenious effort to unify the fledgling nation. For two centuries we have whitewashed this history of the Revolution. Scars of Independence forces a more honest appraisal, revealing the inherent tensions between moral purpose and violent tendencies in America’s past. In so doing, it offers a new origins story that is both relevant and necessary—an important reminder that forging a nation is rarely bloodless.
