Excerpt from Washington's Young Aids: A Story of the New Jersey Campaign, 1776-1777I have endeavored in this story to give my readers a reason ably correct picture of the struggle in New Jersey during the campaign of 1776 - 7. The old records have given me authority for the setting of all portions of the story; for there is nothing recorded here for which a counterpart in history cannot be found.The messengers General Washington sent to General Lee, the retreat and advance of the patriot forces, the life on the prison ships and in the prison-houses of New York, the raids of the pine robbers, the tempting of, the Hessians, the end of Fagan and his band, are all taken from the records, and there is nothing in the story which might not have occurred in the struggle.I have endeavored also to be true to the character of the lead ers, and have written nothing concerning Washington, Greene, Mercer, Knox, Glover, and others, on the one side, and Lee and Gates on the other, that history does not warrant. The bravery and heroism of some appear the more clearly in contrast with the pettiness and treachery of others.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

He even began almost to wish he had remained with him, as perhaps he might have hastened their departure, while now if Jonas was feeling somewhat angry, he might remain even longer at the old farm-house than he otherwise would have done, just to show his friend that he was not dependent upon him, and was entirely capable of selecting his own course of action for himself. John's feelings were not soothed now when his mind began to dwell upon the possibilities of danger he himself might meet. He was aware of the reports which were current of the bands of marauders, British, Hessians, Tories, and those who disclaimed all allegiance to either side. If Jonas only were with him, he would feel stronger, and together they could act far better than either could alone. No; there was no other LEADING HIS HORSE BY THE BRIDLE, HE STARTED ALONG THE LITTLE PATH way now. He would not go on any farther without Jonas, and if he only would come soon, he would hear no word of fault-finding from him. He even thought of the words he would say when he first approached. Doubtless Jonas would feel somewhat ashamed, and certainly he deserved some reproach for delaying their errand; but he would be magnanimous and utter no reproaches. He even began to praise himself for his own self-restraint which he would show as soon as Jonas joined him. Meanwhile no Jonas appeared. John had been walking his horse for some time now, and every minute had been listening for the familiar hail of his companion. He was trying both to keep a careful lookout ahead and at the same time watch the road behind him. He began to be nervous now and to think that it was scarcely safe for him to go on alone. His message, if it...
