The First Horse Bargain. .I nthe autum.fi of the year 1830 some men were felling trees and qhopoing cord-wood, abput a mile from the village of Georgetown, Ohio.- Little use was made of coal in those days, except in a few of the great Eastern cities, and this was the time of the year, after the fall of the leaf, when supplies of fuel could best be laid up. The piece of forest-land the choppers were at work in contained about fifty acres, and was the property of a well-to-do farmer and tanner of Georgetown, named Jesse R. Grant. He was one of the active and influential men of the neighborhood, although not wealthy, and had been the first mayor of Georgetown, but had never consented to run for any other orifice. A dding the needs of the tannery to those of his own dwelling, he burned more firewood than other men.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

It is well to fix the date of the beginning of a narrative. Through the mist and the icy rain, with fixed bayonets and steadfast hearts, up the main street of Trenton town dashed the iron men from the frost and famine camp on the opposite bank of the Delaware. Among their foremost files, leading them in person, rode their commander-in-chief. Beyond, at the central street crossing, a party of Hessian soldiers were half frantically getting a brace of field-pieces to bear upon the advancing American column. They were loading with grape, and if they had been permitted to fire at that short range, George Washington and all the men around him would have been swept away. Young Captain William Washington and a mere boy-officer named James Monroe, with a few Virginians and Marylanders, rushed in ahead of their main column. Nearly every man went down, killed or wounded, but they prevented the firing of those two guns. Just before their rush, the cause of American liberty was in great peril. Just after it, the victory of Trenton was secure. So it is set down in written history, and there are a great many curious statements made by historians.
