In presenting this
little volume to the public there is no intention on the part of the
writer to make any claims of originality or literary excellence. The
main purpose in view has been to present in brief form the most
important phases and incidents of historic interest relating to early
Colonial and Revolutionary times; to record in narrative form the heroic
struggles of those early pioneers who built and kept alive those old
religious organizations, whose sacred houses of worship have sheltered
many generations of honest, sincere people of many religious faiths; to
awaken anew the interest and patriotism of those of the present day in
the oft-told story of the heroic sacrifices of those who fought and died
in the Revolutionary struggle for independence that Democratic
Government could be founded and maintained upon the sacred principle
that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable rights, that among these are liberty and the
pursuit of happiness." Almet S. Moffat, Author
