Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Magazine of American History With Notes and Queries, Vol. 4 He pleaded in justification of himself that he had been only acting under the orders of General Arnold, and that, if anything was wrong, he was responsible. Sir, answered Washington, do you know that General Arnold has ed, and that Mr. Anderson, whom you have piloted through our lines, p1;oves to be Major John Andre, the adjutant-general of the British army, now our prisoner? I expect him here under a guard of one hundred horse, to meet h'is fate as a spy, and unless you confess who were your accomplices, I shall suspend you both on yonder tree 1 pointing to a tree before the door. He then, says Smith, ordered the guards to take me away. About two hours after this Smith said he heard the sound of horses' hoofs, and, soon after, the voice of Andre mingling with those of Washington and others, but here Smith was altogether wrong. Washington saw Major Tallmadge, and asked him many questions, but he declined to see the British adjutant-general, and Tallmadge always believed that, incredible as it may appear, Washington and Andre never saw each other. The most famous of Washington's biographers thinks that the reason why the General refused to see Andre was apparently from a strong idea of his moral obliquity, deduced from the nature of the very nefarious business in which he had been engaged, and the circumstances under which he was taken. But in truth this theory is hardly tenable, at least it is not reconcilable with the sentiments regarding. Andre afterwards expressed by the American Commander. It is more reasonable to sup pose that Washington's course in the matter was actuated by a nice sense of the etiquette of his position, rather than by any personal enmity to the man. The interview of James, II. And the Duke of Monmouth has been cited by General Charles J. Biddle, in his elaborate review of Andre's case, as containing within itself what seems to be the real explanation.

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Magazine of History With Notes and Queries, 1906, Vol. 4 Pipe band of the 5th Royal Scots of Canada, Highlanders, from Montreal and the Regimental band and a Battalion of the 5th Infantry, U. S. A., from Plattsburgh were the principal features of the parade. It was particularly appropriate that the Royal Scots should be present, as they are allied to the Black Watch and wear the same uniform and in fact are soon to be known as the 3d Battalion of the Black Watch. It was also an education to die thousands of spectators, few, if any of whom had ever seen Highlanders in full regimentals marching to the music of bagpipes. After the exercises of the day, the Royal Scots visited the ruins of old Fort Ticonderoga, about two miles from the village and the picture of a body of Highlanders with their scarlet coats and tartan kilts marching up the green slope of the old ramparts, with die setting sun behind them, was one never to be forgotten and which had probably not occurred before since the Revolution. The officers of the present Black Watch regiment, now stationed at Fort George, Scotland, being advised of the Memorial, sent the following letter to the secretary of die Ticonderoga Historical Society: Dear Sir: Your letter of 9th Sept. 1905, on the subject of a Black Watch Memorial, has been perused by the Commanding Officer and the Officers of the 1st battalion The Black Watch, formerly called the 42d Royal Highland Regiment and it was also submitted and discussed at the Annual Gathering of Black Watch Officers - past and present - recently held in Edinburgh. I am authorized to inform you that all Ranks of the Regiment are proud to know that the Ticonderoga Historical society has decided to appropriate an alcove in the Ticonderoga Free Public Library as a memorial to the 42d Regiment, to commemorate their services in the engagement before Fort Ticonderoga on July 8, 1758. The suggestion contained in your letter, to the effect that Officers of the Regiment might be disposed to erect a tablet on a wall of the Alcove to the memory of the Officers and men of the 42d who were killed or wounded in the action has met with the unanimous approval of those to whose notice it has been brought, and I am to inform you that such a Tablet will gladly be provided and that the work of executing the Tablet will be entrusted to a London firm as soon as a suitable design has been decided upon. In order to assist us in choosing a suitable form of tablet I shall be much obliged if you can favor me with a rough plan of the alcove, the dimensions of the actual wall on which the Tablet will rest, and an idea of the general style of the building. I shall be glad to hear from you as soon as you can conveniently supply the information for which I have asked.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Magazine of History, Vol. 4: With Notes and Queries; September, 1906 There exists no question that the battle of Harlem was fought, either to the north or the south of the western portion of Harlem flats; that the Americans occupied certain heights; and that the assault of the English was made by one body and that the larger portion, from the plain below along these heights; at the same time a smaller body gained the top of these heights by ascending a ravine from-the Hudson river bank at some distance from the main line of attack. The whole question then relates to the locality of Harlem Heights, and at this late date, in the absence of positive proof, the locality must either continue to remain in doubt, or must be decided by circumstantial evidence, which is often the most reliable. Before presenting the evidence on which I propose to base my argument it will be necessary to make a digression.
