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.
