The War for Independence (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War for Independence This book is an attempt on the part of the writer to bring before the minds of the boys and girls of the present some of the deeds of their forefathers, the price that was paid for the liberties which we enjoy. The stories are true. If they shall prove to be inter esting and lead to a more careful reading of the history of the early days, the labor will not have been in vain. More than dates or even facts are the deeds and lives of the heroic men and women who have dared and suffered.
