Excerpt from Fragments of Revolutionary History: Being Hitherto Unpublished Writings of the Men of the American Revolution, Collected and Edited, Under Authority of the District of Columbia Society, Sons of the Revolution A large and important part of the manuscript sources of information upon the American Revolu tion are in the custody of private individuals. These scattered fragments are often the missing links in chains of important events, and until they are gathered together and printed they are to all intent and purpose unknown and valueless. It might be supposed that the people who would be most likely to have such papers in their possession would be the descendants of the men who wrote them, and it was a recognition of this probability that prompted the District of Columbia Society, Sons of the Revolution, to authorize the publication of such original Revolutionary writings as members of the Society might contribute. The request for contributions met with a prompt and satisfactory response. Some of the letters, it is true, have little worth from a purely historical point of view, but are nevertheless useful, serving to place vividly before us, as living and breathing human beings, characters that lived a century ago. On the other hand, others of the mss. Have a decided bistori cal interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
