Excerpt from Brave Deeds of Revolutionary Soldiers Jedediah Munroe lived in stirring times. It is hard, in these days of peace, to understand how exciting they were. The post-season series for the baseball championship, the last football games in the fall, a presidential election, or a strike in the steel mills, are mild affairs compared with what was going on when Jedediah Munroe was a young man. For a long time George III, king of England, had been bullying his ministers and Parliament into passing laws for the government of his subjects in America which the Americans refused to obey, because they were unjust laws, and because the Americans had not been given any voice in their making. George III, being a stubborn and rather stupid king, had stormed and threatened, and sent soldiers to Boston to frighten the Americans into obeying his laws. Already there had been some ugly consequences. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
