Excerpt from Patriot and Tory, One Hundred Years Ago: A Tale of the Revolution, Embracing an Authentic Account of the Thrilling Incidents and Exciting Episodes of the Struggle for Independence; Graphic Sketches of Revolutionary Celebrities It is fitting that the story of our separation from the mother country should be set forth without rancor or bitterness toward either side, and that the feelings, opinions, and arguments of those who conscientiously took different sides in that famous struggle should be explicated. A man was not necessarily a demon, because he was a Tory; nor a saint, because he was a Patriot. Again, there were giants in those days, moral giants, not merely in the higher ranks of the army, but in the station of common soldiers; men who in their narrower spheres, showed the heroic virtues of a \vashington, and of such we would pre serve the portraiture.

Not illustrated. 1877 edition. Excerpt: ...Only a few of the sick are in this hospital, for it is too small for a tenth part of those who need. Hannah said she had carried the blanket that my uncle sent her to a sick man lying on the earth in a cabin, and that she should make the broth go as far as she could. I set about helping her care for her patients, put her hospital in order, and prepare their food. While we were busy Richard Reid came in. Said Hannah, "I would have died of very despair and heart-ache here had it not been for this good friend. He labors for the sick night and day, contrives beds for them, robs himself to feed them, and reads and prays with them."

I was nearly senseless from terror when I was put down, and Captain Temple went off to find help for me. He came back at last, saying, " Cure Bob; I owe my life to him." I opened my eyes to beg to be let alone, and there stood Hannah Dana! She did not recognize me until, as she bent down, I...
