Description
Excerpt from American Prisoners of the Revolution
HE writer of this book has been interested for many years in the subject Of the sufferings of the American prisoners of the Revolution. Finding the information she sought widely scattered, she has, for her own use, and for that of all students of the subject, gathered all the facts she could Obtain within the covers of this volume. There is little that is orig inal in the compilation. The reader will find that extensive use has been made of such narratives as that Captain Dring has left us.'' The accounts could have been given in the compiler''s Y own words, but they would only, thereby, have lost in strength. The orig inal narratives are all out of print, very scarce and hard to obtain, and the writer feels justified in te printing them in this collection, for the sake of the general reader interested in the subject, and not able to search for himself through the mass of original material, some of which she has only discovered after months of research. Her work has mainly consisted in abridging these records, collected from so many dif ferent sources.
The writer desires to express her thanks to the courteous librarians of the Library of Congress and of the War and Navy Departments; to Dr. Lang worthy for permission to publish his able and inter esting paper on the subject of the prisons in New York, and to many others who have helped her in her task.''
