Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of Our Revolution If I should ask you, Boy, to tell me what were the causes of the American Revolution, you would promptly answer The Stamp Act, Taxation Without Representation, and The Quartering of English Troops upon the Colonists. Your answer would be correct. These were the immediate causes. As a matter of fact, however, there were other, deeper and more important causes, and these were as old as the colonies themselves. Religious freedom, the very thing that drove many of the English and French colonists to the new land, was in danger as soon as England began to tighten her hold on the colonies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Daring Deeds of the Old Heroes of the Revolution IN explanation of the plan of this work, it may be stated that such an occasion 'as that upon which the veterans met was especially adapted to awaken recol lections of the struggle for Independence. A Fourth dof-july festival in the old rendezvous of the Boston tea-party-is surely well'calculated to excite patriotic feeling; and when to those who participated in the festival are added a number of the veterans of the War of Independence, filled with glorious recollections, the effect is to turn the mind to the admiration and venera tion of 'the men and deeds of the trying time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of the American Revolution We talk in a wise way about events in history; we even know the dates of certain great events. The names, too, of certain great men stand prominently forth and we are only too apt to believe that such and such an event was the making of such and such a man, when in reality it is the other way round. The man of power is bound to shape the events of his time. It is men who make history for all time, and this was notably the case during that wonderful period of the American struggle for independence, when a handful of determined men flung the gauntlet of defiance in the faces of the English King and his Parliament. They never thought of making history - these earnest, straightforward, manly men - when they presided at great councils and raised their voices in indignant protest, as, link by link, England forged the chains of slavery.

It forms, it is believed, a pro per introduction for a work intended, like this, for the people. The style, in consequence, is different from that which a more pretending narrative should exhibit.

Download or read book Anecdotes of the American Revolution Vol 1 written by Alexander Garden and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anecdotes of the American Revolution, Vol. 1: Illustrative of the Talents and Virtues Heroes of the Revolution, Who Acted the Most Conspicuous Parts Therein It was designed that this edition of Garden's Anecdotes should be accompanied by a sketch of the life of the author, and the publication of the work has been delayed in the expectation of discovering sufficient data for the performance of that design. No probable source of information has been neglected, and no labor of investigation among the minutest narrations of Southern life has been spared in seeking information regarding Major Garden. It is scant justice to one who has done so much to secure fame, and popular regard for others, to receive such meagre tribute to his memory. Nor has the task been rendered easier of accomplishment, by the singular fact, that while the name of Alexander Garden has few representatives in this country, no less than three remarkable and talented men who bore it, should have resided in Charleston. Incidents in the life of each, have been confusedly narrated in allusions to the others; and the dates of events which belong to one have been transferred to another. Col. Benjamin Garden who commanded a regiment in South Carolina during the revolution is often referred to in the collections and histories, and not always by his distinctive title and name, thus adding another element of confusion to what was already so difficult. The first Alexander Garden was a clergyman, officiating in Charleston as the commissary of the Bishop of London, a learned and pious man, who died in 1756, aged 70 years. The second Alexander Garden was eminent as a Physician, and naturalist, performing the arduous services of the first among the citizens of Charleston, and contributing by his zeal in pursuits of the last to the learning of the world for a period of more than thirty years. His death occurred at London in the year 1791, to which place he returned soon after the departure of the British from Charleston.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biography of Revolutionary Heroes There is 110 species Of writing so difficult as biography, and in an especial manner when it chances to be of some public character. To draw upon one's imagination, if the writer is gifted with any, is comparatively a work of little difficulty but where one is pinned down to stubborn facts, facts in the memory of men too, where the least devia tion, the most trifling irregularity, even the mistake of a date, would subject one to be torn to pieces by the critics, is an afi'air of no small labor and anxiety. In the present instance we are called to write on a theme of infinite interest, to all our countrymen certainly, but one so haeknied that it is almost impossible to say any thing new on the subject. The history of every Old soldier in the Revolution, is in fact but a repetition Of the Revolution it self. Wherever they took the trouble to keep a memoran dum of the events of their lives it would be impossible to give it in such a way as to make it understood without much repetition. To write such a biography then, in a way to make it interesting to the public, is an effort of no ordi nary magnitude. To add to the difficulties of such a work, there are two Classes of readers to please. One class is excessively offended if there is any thing in the story that sounds like romance, forgetful that truth is truth, let it be clothed in what language it may. They take offence if any thing like sentiment, or we had like to have said, refinement, is to be found ia' the whole book, and cavil at every sentence which is not confirmed by the pages of his.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heroes of the American Revolution and Their Descendants: Battle of Long Island This statement is made on the authority of a man who was a prisoner on the Asia at the time. The journal of a British officer refers to the Denise house as follows: "The Admiral directed Sir George Collier to place the Rainbow, at dawn of day, in the Narrows abreast of a large stone building called Denise's, where he understood the rebels had cannon and a strong post, in which situation she would be able to enfilade the road leading from New York, and prevent reinforcements being sent to the rebel outposts, as well as to their troops who were stationed to oppose the landing." Lord Howe's letter, describing the landing, says: "Gen. Howe giving me notice of his intention to make a descent on Gravesend Bay, on Long Island, on the morning of the 22d, the necessary disposition was made, and 75 flatboats, with 11 batteaux and 2 galleys built for the occasion, were prepared for that service. The command of the whole remained with Com. Hotham. The Capts. Parker, Wallace and Dickson, in the Phenix, Rose and Greyhound, with the Thunder, and Carcass bombs, under the direction of Col. James, were appointed to cover the landing. The flatboats, galleys and three batteaux, manned from the ships of war, were formed into three divisions, commanded respectively by the Capts. Vanderput, Mason, Curtis, Caldwell, Phipps, Caulfield, Uppleby and Duncan, and Lt. Reeve, of the Eagle. The rest of the batteaux, making a 10th division, manned from the transports, were under the conduct of Lt. Bristow, an assistant agent. Early in the morning of the 22d the covering ships took their station in Gravesend Bay. The light infantry, with the reserve to be first landed, forming a corps together of 4,000 men, entered the boats at Staten Island the same time. The transports in which the several brigades composing the second debarkation (about 5,000 men) had been before embarked, were moved down and suitably arranged without the covering ship by 8 o'clock. The first debarkation not meeting with any opposition, the second succeeded immediately after; and the other transports, carrying the rest of the troops, following the former in proper succession.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anecdotes of the American Revolution, Vol. 2: Illustrative of the Talents and Virtues of the Heroes of the Revolution, Who Acted the Most Conspicuous Parts Therein AT the siege of York, the young Baron de Carendeffez, now an inhabitant of our city, then about the age of fifteen, was sent into the magazine to distribute ammunition for the use of the French artillery, and while seated on a barrel of powder, saw a shell from the enemy fall within two feet of his position. The soldiers who were in the Battery, expecting immediate explo sion, ran off in every direction. The intrepid youth remained unmoved. The expected catastrophe, however, did not follow - the fuse of the shell was, in its flight, extinguished. This being perceived by the fugitives, the Battery was immediately re-occupied, when Captain Lem'ery the commanding officer, a'd dressing himself to the youth, who still retained his seat, said You young rogue, why did you not fly the impending danger? Why not embrace a chance for life Q Because, Captain, he heroically replied, my duty required that I should make a distribution of ammunition, and not desert my post, and fly like a poltroon I.
