Description
Excerpt from The Story of General Anthony Wayne (Mad Anthony): The Hero of Stony Point
They stayed among these merciless walls of ice and clouds of snow all winter until five thou sand of them had perished. Misfortune, sickness, failure, cold and hunger had attended their ca reer. It was a sad opening for the grand war. Finally the remnant of this freezing, spiritless host, without shoes, their uniforms in rags, their little boats dashed to pieces in the blinding tem pests on the northern rivers, eating the faithful dogs that followed them, to keep alive; made its way into a camp which General Sullivan had formed at Soral, a little distance above Mon treal. Here, they nursed their sick and buried their dead and battled with the snow and sleet till milder weather came.
