Every publication brings forth new treasures. The names of those patriots which have appeared in former volumes are perpetuated with additional honors, and the new ancestors are gladly recorded with the goodly number of those already chronicled. How much more precious are the memories of the Revolutionary Patriots, with every baptism of war and bloodshed, through which this nation passes, maintaining the principles for which they fought and de fended with their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honors.In the present war with Spain we bear the blessings of liberty which we enjoy to the oppressed. The mother bids her son go forth and the wife her husband, to the contest, the same as the noble women of the Revolution, who bade their loved ones to fight, and die, if need be, in the cause of freedom.Our patriotic songs link the Revolution with every successive war for liberty and every struggle to maintain the honor of our Flag demonstrates anew the wisdom and foresight of the founders of our nation and the stability of our government. Surely, our forefathers builded better than they knew, and the familiar names in these books become more and more endeared to us.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
