JUNE 1910— JUNE 1913
At the meeting of the Board of Managers, September 9, 1910, the
late Henry A. May was employed to search the records and locate the
burial places of soldiers of the Revolution who were buried in Boston
and its vicinity, and which had not been designated by "markers."
The result of his search showed burials in the following grounds:
Copp's Hill, 22; the Granary, 15; Boston Common, 15; Eustis
Street, Roxbury, 16; Phipps Street, Charlestown, 11; Dorchester
South, 6; Eliot Street, Jamaica Plain, 6; Westerly, West Roxbury, 5;
Walter Street, Roslindale, 1. On motion of our late compatriot,
William W. Bartlet, it was voted to authorize the Memorial Com-
mittee to place markers at such graves, and to affix name-plates to
markers placed at tombs.
October 14, 1910, it was voted to contribute fifty dollars toward
a memorial Flag Staff to be erected in Cambridge by Daughters of
the American Revolution in memory of Revolutionary Soldiers and
Patriots.
President Nathan Warren stated that a silver cup for the Lexing-
ton Minute-men's winter carnival would be given by individual
members of the Society.
FIELD DAY AT MALDEN, OCTOBER 12, 1910
The Society held its annual Field Day at Maiden and assisted in
the exercises attending the unveiling of the momorial tablets at Bell
Rock Park. The Revolutionary tablet which was originally placed
on the boulder at Bell Rock was removed to give place to the new
soldiers' moniunent and was replaced on the left fagade of the base
of the new monimient, while the new Founders' tablet was placed on
the opposite side of the fagade. The exercises took place at 10:30
A. M. with the following program: Invocation by Rev. L. J. Bimey;
hymn, "Angel of Peace" by the high school chorus; introductory
remarks by Frank E. Woodward, President of Maiden Chapter, Sons
of the American Revolution; address by Edwin S. Crandon, vice
president of the State Society; address by Mrs. Adeline F. Fitz,
president-general of the Daughters of the Revolution; address by
Mayor George H. Fall; unveiling of the tablets by Miss Elizabeth
14 ^ona of tt)e American ^ebolutton
D. Walker and Miss Katherine Hall; hymn, "To Thee O Country,"
by the chorus ; address by Sylvester Baxter, chairman of the Maiden
Park Commission; and an address by Charles E. Mann, president
of the Maiden Historical Society. Following the exercises at the
park, the company of ladies and gentlemen visited the Public Library
on their way to the Auditorium where the banquet was served. Vice-
president Candon presided, and among the speakers were Hon. Levi
S. Gould, formerly the first Mayor of Melrose, Hon. George H. Fall,
of Maiden, and Joseph Santosuosso, Esq., of Boston. The remainder
of the afternoon was spent in a carriage ride through Middlesex Fells ,
which was one of the pleasantest features of the Field Day.
At the meeting held December 9, 1910, the following resolution on
the death of William Williams Bartlet was tmanimously adopted:
"Resolved, That in the death of Compatriot Bartlet this Society has lost one
of its most loyal and efficient members, and the Board of Managers a wise and
alert counselor whose interest in the aims of the Society was especially conspicu-
ous during the few months he was connected with the Board.
"His Compatriots tender to the family of their lamented comrade their pro-
found sympathy, and commend them to the comfort of God's infinite grace."
WASHINGTON'S 179TH BIRTHDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1911
The members of the Society met in the morning on the Essex Street
side of Hotel Essex to dedicate a memorial tablet to Major-General
Henry ICnox. Master Joseph Atwood, a son of Luther Atwood, of
Lyim, removed the American flag from the face of the bronze tablet
afiixed to the side of the hotel building.
The inscription on the tablet is :
Near this site was the birthplace of
Henry Knox
Volunteer at the Battle of Bunker Hill
Colonel of Artillery, 1775
Brigadier-General, 1776
Major General, 1781
Commander-in-chief of the Army, 1783
Secretary of War, 1785
He brought across the country on sleds for
use at the Siege of Boston, 1776, the
artillery captiu*ed at Ticonderoga
Placed by the Massachusetts Society
Sons of the American Revolution, 1911.
^h^ttattii of proccetitn0$( 15
The company then adjourned to the hotel where they were ad-
dressed by President Nathan Warren, who formally commended the
tablet to the care of the owners of Hotel Essex. Compatriot Leslie
C. Wead, president of the company controlling the hotel property,
promised that he and his successors in the company would hold the
tablet in sacred reverence. Mr. Wead then delivered an appreciation
of General Knox and his military and administrative services.
Brigadier-General Philip Reade, U. S. A. (ret.) delivered a short
address on the life of General Knox.
The regular meeting of the Society was held at Hotel Vendome,
President Warren presiding. Brig. -Gen. Philip Reade read a very
interesting account of "Some Massachusetts Soldiers with Whom
Washington Passed His Forty-sixth Birthday at Valley Forge."
The paper covered the period between December 19, 1777, and Jtuie
19, 1778, and named by Massachusetts counties the principal officers
from the Commonwealth who were with Washington at Valley Forge.
About half the eight thousand soldiers who encamped there in Decem-
ber, 1777, were from Massachusetts.
On motion of Dr. F. A. Gardner, it was unanimously resolved that
it was the sense of the Society that the records prepared by General
Reade should be published by the State. Compatriot Edwin Day
Sibley gave several very interesting readings entitled "Character
Studies." Compatriot Dr. George B. Stevens read an excellent paper
on the unfortunate Penobscot Expedition, or "Bagaduce Expedi-
tion." Compatriot Walter Kendall Watkins offered the following
resolution which was unanimously adopted:
"Resolved, That the Massachusetts Society of the Sons of the American Rev-
olution protest against the attempt to change the name of Court Street in Bos-
ton, as tending to a confusion and contradiction in the historical associations of
the most important epochs in American history, the American Revolution, and
the Anti-Slavery agitation of the Civil War.
At the conclusion of the exercises Itmcheon was served and a social
hour enjoyed.
ANNUAL MEETING, APRIL 19, 1911
The Massachusetts Society of the Sons of the American Revolution
held its twenty-second annual business meeting on Patriots' Day in
the Old South Meeting House, the usual place of gathering, with
excellent attendance. The retiring president, Nathan Warren, pre-
sided. Historian-General, David L. Pierson of New Jersey, was
the guest of the Society. An interesting ceremony early in the pro-
16 ^onj6( of tl^e American Heboiution
ceedings was the trooping of the colors by a detail from Troop A of the
first squadron of cavalry, the National Lancers, in command of
Captain John S. Barrows, president of Boston Chapter, S. A. R.
The meeting opened with prayer by the Society's chaplain, Rev.
Lewis Wilder Hicks of Wellesley. President Warren gave a r^sum6
of the work of the Society and spoke also of future purposes and aims,
especially in welcoming "yoimg American blood of Revolutionary
standard" to join our ranks.
The annual reports of the secretary -registrar, the treasurer, the
historian and the auditors were read by those officials. Secretary
Kimball reported the membership to be 1,635, of whom 86 had been
admitted during the year. Treasurer Green reported that the total
receipts had been $4,923.73, the expenditures $4,824.39, and that the
cash balance on hand April 15 was $99.34. The auditors foimd the
accounts to be correct and that the permanent fund, amoimting to
$6,567, is on deposit in approved savings banks; and that the reserve
fund, on deposit, amotmted to $971.78. In the absence of Historian
Reade, the secretary read the Necrology for the past year, giving
biographical notices of thirty-nine members who had died.
Of the delegates appointed to the Louisville, Kentucky, Congress
of the National Society held May 1-3, 1911, Massachusetts was repre-
sented by Dr. Moses Greeley Parker, Edwin S. Crandon, Dr. Waldo
E. Boardman, Webster Bruce, John G. Moseley and T. Julien Silsby.
The committee appointed to nominate officers for the ensuing year
reported the following who were unanimously elected: President,
Edwin Sanford Crandon, of Cambridge; vice-presidents, Hon. Luke
S. Stowe of Springfield, Luther Atwood of Lynn, and Frank E. Wood-
ward of Wellesley Hills ; secretary and registrar, Herbert W. Kimball
of Waban; treasurer, Charles M. Green, M. D., of Boston; historian,
Brig.-Gen. Philip Reade, U. S. A. (retired) of Lowell; chaplain. Rev.
Lewis W. Hicks of Wellesley; managers for three years, Allen H.
Bagg of Pittsfield, Samuel Crowell, M. D., of Dorchester, George M.
Rice of Worcester, Albert F. Amee of Cambridge, and James E. Seaver
of Taunton. Charles E. Wiggin of Roxbury was elected for two years
to fill the unexpired term of the late W. W. Bartlet.
At the conclusion of the business meeting the members marched to
the American House preceded by a fife and drum corps, where in the
large banquet room the retiring president, Nathan Warren, presided,
and the newly-elected president, Edwin Sanford Crandon, was in-
ducted into office. During the ceremony the members, standing at
their places, sang "The Star Spangled Banner." The color sergeant
^h^ttatt^ of ^toctthinq^ 17
of the Lancers gave the Society flag into the keeping of President
Crandon, who made a short speech.
The after dinner speaking was begun by Hon. Charles D. Kimball,
president of the Rhode Island Society, who extended its felicitations,
and reminded his hearers of the fact that our ancestors, who had
foimded a nation, had nevertheless left something for the men of the
present generation to do. Immigrants from the countries of the old
world could not perhaps appreciate the blessings of a free govern-
ment such as we enjoy, but Americans fully realize the blessings
brought by oiu* iorm of government, and it was for them to teach this
fact to others.
David L. Pierson, historian general of the National Society, recalled
some of the interesting Revolutionary incidents of New Jersey, and
rejoiced that he was permitted to speak on Patriots' Day in Boston,
which he described as "the hotbed of patriotism."
Charles Dana Burrage, president of the Sons of the Revolution
in Massachusetts, and also a member of this Society, said there were
ever reciuring problems to be solved, problems that involved the
welfare of countless thousands. Selfish dominations, the attempt to
acquire for personal ends even the breathing spaces of the people,
showed that there was a constant duty to perform, and a need to
teach the true meaning of patriotism and obedience to the laws of God.
William E. L. Dillaway said the people were coming to a stage
where great changes were to be met, questions of the initiative, the
referendum and the recall as showing a need of more patriotic days
instead of lessening the ntmiber of holidays, in order that patriotism
might prevent the rule of the people from becoming the rule of the
mob. .
Nathan Warren, the retiring president, said that Americans might
well take pride in the great strides that had been taken since April
19, 1775. The day was increasing in importance, and it would in
time become one of the momentous days of the year. There was
never a time when the day and its inspirations were needed more
than now.
Mr. Warren announced that a committee appointed for the purpose
had drawn up a testimonial for Dr. Charles M. Green, whose imselfish
and devoted services as treasurer since 1892, the Society desired to
acknowledge and this testimonial, which was beautifully engrossed,
was read by President Crandon, chairman of the committee on the
testimonial, and who was selected by Mr. Warren to present it to
Dr. Green.
18 ^onjgt of tf)e American Hebolution
The after dinner speaking was brought to a close with a brief
address by President Frederick W. Hamilton of Tufts College.
May 12, 1911. At a meeting of the board of managers it was voted
to contribute fifty dollars towards a tablet the Berkshire Coimty
Chapter proposes to place near the site of Easton's Tavern, Pittsfield,
in which the capture of Fort Ticonderoga was planned. At this meet-
ing, it was voted to invite the National Society to hold their congress
of 1912 in Boston.
THE EASTON MEMORIAL TABLET
Berkshire Coimty Chapter, of Pittsfield, July 3, 1911, unveiled a
bronze tablet on, or near, the site of the historic Easton's Tavern,
which stood where now is situated the Berkshire Athenaeimi and
Museum of Art, in which met the men who planned the capture of
Ticonderoga. Joseph E. Peirson, president of the chapter, presided
and addresses were made by Judge Edward T. Slocimi; Dr. J. F. A.
Adams, Hon. Luke S. Stowe and Hon. Walter F. Hawkins. The
singing was by the pupils from the public schools, and the tablet was
imveiled by daughters of Dr. and Mrs. F. K. Chaffee. The tablet
bears the following inscription:
Near this spot stood
Easton's Tavern
Here on May 1, 1775, Colonel
James Easton and John Brown
of Pittsfield and Captain Edward
Mott of Preston, Conn., planned
the capture of Fort Ticonderoga
which on May 10 surrendered
to the Continental Volunteers
under Ethan Allen with Colonel Easton
second in command
Jime 11, 1911. The Committee on Memorials reported it had
placed 220 markers during the past year at graves of Revolutionary
soldiers biiried in Dorchester, Boston, Roxbury, West Roxbury and
Charlestown and had sent to Compatriot D. A. Healey of Holyoke
two markers to be placed in that city.
In recognition of the faithful work of Charles E. Alexander, editor
of the patriotic department of the Boston Transcript, the Society of
^h^ttact^ of ^roceetiingjsi 19
shared with the Daughters of the American Revolution in presenting
to Mr. Alexander a fine mahogany colonial desk. The Daughters of
the Revolution, also, gave a mahogany chair for the desk.
October 6, 1911. The Board of Managers unanimously adopted a
resolution in appreciation of the devoted services of the Society's
historian, Brig.-Gen. Philip Reade, in connection with the work of
providing for a monument, the Commonwealth has erected at Valley
Forge to commemorate Massachusetts soldiers who were with Wash-
ington during the winter of 1777-8.
FIELD DAY AT WORCESTER, OCTOBER 19, 1911
The 130th anniversary of Comwallis' Surrender at Yorktown was
celebrated by the Society holding its annual Field Day at Worcester
by invitation of Worcester Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution.
The threatening weather somewhat lessened the attendance, but the
program prepared by Compatriots George M. Rice and Hon. Alfred
S. Roe, who personally conducted the party and described the many
places of historic interest, was carried out; among which is the
Common, where stands the monument to Col. Timothy Bigelow
(15th Continental regiment), the City Hall, which occupies the site
of the Old South Church from which was read the Declaration of
Independence for the first time in Massachusetts. Mayor James
Logan received the company at City Hall and invited all to inspect
the building.
From City Hall, trolley cars carried the party to the building of the
American Antiquarian Society, where the librarian, Clarence S.
Brigham, gave a short history of the Society, saying it was established
one hundred years ago in an inland town to escape excessive taxation
levied by the British on sea coast towns. After a most interesting
inspection of the building, the party stopped at the tablet marking
the birthplace of the eminent historian Bancroft, and on their return
visited old Exchange Hotel where Washington ate his breakfast in
1789, and General Lafayette stopped in 1825. Hotel Warren was
reached in time to partake of an excellent dinner served to eighty-five
ladies and gentlemen, among whom was our "own son," John Adams,
aged ninety-nine years.
Vice-president Frank E. Woodward presided at the dinner, and
afterwards in a brief introductory speech presented his Honor, James
Logan, mayor of the city, who made an address. (See Addresses).
Following the dinner, a visit was made to the General Artemas
Ward colonial mansion at Shrewsbury, still owned by his descendants,
20 M>on0 of t^t American ^ebolutton
two of whom were present, and every courtesy was extended to the
guests who were shown through the many rooms of this historic old
mansion with its priceless relics of Revolutionary days.
The return to Worcester was made in time to take the 4:55 train
for Boston. A vote of thanks was given to Worcester Chapter for the
very successftd way in which it entertained the Society.
November 10, 1911. It was voted to place markers at the graves
of Captain John Cushing who was buried in Freeport, Maine, and
Elisha Adams, in Hopkinton. It was voted to contribute one hundred
dollars to the building fimd of the New England Historic Genealogical
Society.
It was voted to constitute the president of the Massachusetts
Society an active member of the "Society for the Preservation of
New England Antiquities."
December 8, 1911. It was voted to have printed and circulated
among the members of the Society a catalogue of books in the
Society's library.
It was voted to thank General Reade for the architect's designs
for the Massachusetts Valley Forge Monument, and also to have the
same suitably framed and hung in the Society's room.
February 9, 1912. It was voted to appropriate fifty dollars to
place a bronze tablet at Danvers Centre in commemoration of
Arnold's Expedition to Quebec. Later it was voted to pay the expense
of obtaining a boulder for the tablet.
WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY. FEBRUARY 22, 1912
The Society celebrated the 180th Birthday of George Washington
at Hotel Vendome, Boston, at 10:30 a. m. President Edwin S.
Crandon presided and there were about two hundred members
present. After introductory remarks by President Crandon, "The
Sword of Bimker Hill" was sung by Richard B. Hall, who also sang
the "Star Spangled Banner," and the members joined in the chorus.
Hon. Solon W. Stevens was the first speaker. He reviewed with
optimism the affairs of the country and declared that conditions are
gradually becoming better. Brigadier General Reade, U. S. A.
(retired), gave interesting details concerning some of the men that
Massachusetts had put into Washington's army from January 1,
1777. "The first mission of Washington at Valley Forge was unifica-
tion. He was assisted by Steuben, Alexander Hamilton and Henry
Knox, and it was then Washington prevented what threatened to be a
^h^ttatt0 of ^rocecUingjef 21
loose confederacy of states. Valley Forge was the reveille of the
army of the United States, the first call for which was sounded by
Washington, who demonstrated that public safety required that
enlistments be made for the war ; that confederation under one com-
mander did not mean a crown; that Continental Congresses and
Coimcils were inefficient to win campaigns ; that imskilled volunteers
were no match, in the long run, for well-trained veterans; that a
standing army was not a thing to be dreaded. Had Washington's
army at Valley Forge been destroyed or scattered, the conquest of the
Hudson River and the separation of New England from the Middle
States might have been an easy task. The Massachusetts troops at
Valley Forge were of the foremost actors in the various movements
which culminated in that more perfect imion of states secured by the
Federal Constitution . ' '
Hon. Horace H. Atherton, Jr., president of Old Essex Chapter,
of Lynn, presented to the State Society in behalf of the Chapter, a
white silk flag of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. President
Crandon appropriately responded, and the unanimous thanks of the
Society were given the Chapter for its generous gift. Following the
presentation, a luncheon and social hoiu- closed a most successful
meeting.
April 12, 1912. It was voted to apply for a resident membership
for the secretary, or registrar, in the New England Historic Genea-
logical Society.
TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL MEETING, APRIL 19, 1912
The twenty-third annual meeting was held in the Old South Meet-
ing House at 10:30 a. m. President Edwin S. Crandon presided, and
the meeting opened with prayer by the chaplain. Rev. Lewis Wilder
Hicks of Wellesley. Trooping of the colors was performed by a detail
from Captain C. B. Appleton's Troop A, imder command of Sergeant
George W. Austin.
President Crandon prefaced his opening address by a brief tribute
to Major Archibald Butt, who was among those lost in the Titanic
disaster. In his address. President Crandon recalled the stirring
incidents of one hundred and thirty seven years ago today, and he
referred to its bearing upon the new conception of the relation of the
people to the government. "Today, we who benefit so greatly in
sharing this goodly heritage meet to rejoice in the benefits given by
the God of owe Fathers to their children, to consider gravely our duty
22 ^on^ of tl^e 9lmfrtcan Hebolution
and privilege in the work of perpetuating their names and principles ;
to review the year, to plan for the building of yet statelier mansions
as the swift seasons roll."
The annual reports of the secretary-registrar, treasurer and his-
torian were then read by those officials.
The secretary reported the total membership March 31, 1912, as
1,638. The number of "actual sons" of soldiers of the Revolution

FIELD DAY AT SALEM AND DANVERS, SEPTEMBER 14,
1912
The dedication of a memorial tablet at Danvers commemorating
the Quebec Expedition of 1775 was made the occasion for holding the
^bfittatt^ of ^tottthing^ 25
annual Field Day at Salem and Danvers. About seventy-five ladies
and gentlemen met at Salem and were received by a committee from
Old Salem Chapter, who acted as guides to places of historic interest.
After dining in Ames Memorial Hall, special electric cars took the
party to Danvers Square, where the tablet, on a large boulder, is set
on the lawn in front of "Ye old Berry Tavern." The exercises of
unveiling the tablet were begun with prayer by Chaplain Lewis W.
Hicks. President Crandon was then introduced by Compatriot
Alvin R. Bailey, chairman of the committee on arrangements.
Mr. Crandon spoke briefly of the purposes of the society and its work
in erecting similar memorials in the state. Upon removal of the flag
from the tablet, President Crandon said: "We dedicate and give
this memorial as an inspiration of better citizenship and in recognition
of the high and noble deeds of the past, and may God bless us one
and all."
The weather had been threatening and a shower of rain fell at the
conclusion of Mr. Crandon's address. Arrangements had been made
for such a contingency and the company proceeded at once to the
rooms of the Danvers Historical Society, where Charles H. Preston,
a member of the committee, welcomed all in behalf of the Society
and President Crandon introduced Hon. Alden P. White as the orator
of the occasion. Judge Alden told in detail the history of Benedict
Arnold's expedition to Canada, and the manner in which he handled
the misdeeds of Arnold, mentioning him simply as "that other man"
was unique and truly masterly. Dr. Frank A. Gardner, of Salem,
a recognized student of Revolutionary history, followed Judge White
with an interesting account of the personnel of the expedition, which
was made up of two battalions with Colonel Benedict Arnold in
command; Lieut. -Col. Christopher Greene of Warwick, R. I.,
Lieut. -Col. Roger Enos of Windsor, Conn., Major Return Jonathan
Meigs of Middletown, Conn., Major Timothy Bigelow of Worcester.
Among the other officers was Capt. Samuel McCobb of Georgetown;
and two volunteers who held no commissions but later attained dis-
tinction and rank — Lieut. -Col. Aaron Burr and Eleazer Aswold.
Hon. George B. Sears was the last speaker. He spoke briefly of
Danvers history and expressed the opinion that in all schools the local
history of the cities and towns in which the schools are located should
be taught.
October 11, 1912. Markers were contributed for the graves of
Enos Reynolds, West Boxford, and Philip Bagley, Newburyport —

Rev. Dr. Daniel D. Addison, who spoke on Washington, "The Great
American." (See address in full). Edward J. Cox, who spoke on

had ptu-chased a marker, with name-plate affixed, which he intended

tion which was adopted by a tmanimous vote:
"That the managers heartily approve of the changes now being
made on the exterior of the Old South Meeting House, restoring it
^hattatt^ of proceebtngi( 27
to the appearance of the time for which it is most famous, putting it
in harmony with the Old State House and Christ Church, making
more emphatic the reminders of those times not too well known by
the present generation. The work of the Old South Society is heartily
approved, and those changes which will make the noted building
nearer to the condition existing in Revolutionary days, are endorsed
by the Massachusetts Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution."
April 11, 1913. The board of managers having learned with great
sorrow of the death of David Floyd, of Winthrop, on motion of
President Crandon a resolution of condolence was extended to Mrs.

board of managers, it was voted to fill his unexpired term by the
appointment of Charles French Read, of Brookline.

GENERAL INFORMATION
AND
MATTERS OF HISTORICAL INTEREST
SEAL
The Seal of the National Society is one and seven-eighths of an
inch in diameter, and consists of the figure of a minute-man stand-
ing by the side of a plough, surrounded by thirteen stars; the whole
encircled by a band three-eighths of an inch wide, upon which in
raised letters is the name of the Society, with the date of organiza-
tion. That of the State Society is identical with that of the National
Society, except that within the name of the parent society is the
motto "Massachusetts Society, organized April 19, 1889."
INSIGNIA
The Badge — Obverse: A gold cross of four arms and eight points,
of the same size as the Chevalier's Cross of the French Legion of
Honor, with white enamelled arms. In the centre is a gold medal-
lion bust of George Washington in profile, surrounded by a ribbon
in blue enamel, on which is the motto of the Society in gold letters,
" Libertas et Patria." Between the medallion and the points of the
cross is a laiu-el wreath. Reverse: Like the obverse; the medal-
lion, however, has the figure of a minute-man, surrounded by a
ribbon in blue enamel, containing in gold letters the words, "Sons
of the American Revolution." The cross is surrounded by an eagle
in gold, suspended by a silk ribbon of blue, white, and buff.
The cross is a reproduction of the emblem of the French Order
of St. Louis, with certain changes, and was adopted to commem-
orate the assistance given to the Colonies by Louis XVI, Grand
Master of that Order. The medallion, containing the head of
Washington and the figure of the minute-man, is fitly placed upon
a cross of such an origin and associations.
170 ^onjef of tlje American Hebolution
The Rosette — The rosette is a button in the shape of a raised
cup, of blue, white, and buff ribbon. It is to be worn in the upper
left-hand button-hole of the coat.
The only badge now authorized by the National Congress is that
described above, superseding all forms previously used. The price
of the badge, or cross of St. Louis, adapted to this Society, is nine
dollars. It may be obtained of Messrs. J. E. Caldwell & Co., Phila-
delphia, by permit issued by the Registrar-General, which will be
furnished by the Registrar. The rosette may be procured of the
Registrar for twenty-five cents.
THE OFFICIAL MARKER
The subject of identifying and marking the graves of Revolu-
tionary soldiers and sailors has for some time engaged the attention
of the Massachusetts Society of the Sons of the American Revo-
lution.
The General Court of Massachusetts, by an act passed in 1884,
authorized towns to appropriate money for the purpose of erecting
headstones or other monuments to the memory of the patriot dead.
The design adopted by the Massachusetts Society follows the
insignia badge of the Society, having the letters S. A. R. (Soldier
American Revolution) on three of the arms, and the figures 1775
on the fourth arm of the cross. More than nine thousand five him-
dred markers have been made and used throughout this and other
States, and even in our distant possessions and in foreign lands.
A list of soldiers and sailors whose graves have been designated
was printed in connection with the Society's Year Books of 1901
and 1904.
The Massachusetts Society, while retaining the design of the
marker as originally made of iron, has now entirely changed its
material and mode of manufacture. The cross has been slightly
reduced in size, and is made of good bronze. It is securely fastened
to a brass rod, and this rod, with the cross, makes its entire length
about thirty-seven inches. If desired, the end of the rod having an
anchor may be set in cement, which is to be biuied eighteen inches
below the surface of the ground. This anchor will render the marker,
when once adjusted, almost immovable; and, with the bronze and
brass of which it is composed, the whole will last for many years.
The National Congress, at its session in 1894, adopted the design for
<Deneral ^information 171
its official marker, and recommended its use by all the State Societies.
At the session of 1903 the changes suggested by the Massachusetts
Society were approved.
Full information for procuring the markers may be obtained
from the Registrar.
Marble headstones, suitably inscribed for marking the graves of
soldiers or sailors of the Revolution, are furnished free of charge upon
application to the Quartermaster General, U. S. Army, Washington,
D. C.

THE FRONTISPIECE
THE BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL
From a painting by Col. John Trumbull
"On the morning of June 16, 1775, positive and reliable informa-
tion was brought to Cambridge from Boston during the previous
night of the plans and decision of the British commanders for the
occupation of Dorchester Heights on June 18. Immediate consulta-
tion took place at General Ward's headquarters in Cambridge, when
it was decided to occupy Charlestown Peninsula that night and force
the British to attack us on June 17; the real objective, therefore, of
the Battle of Bimker Hill was to prevent the execution of the British
plan of occupying Dorchester Heights on June 18. After much
argument this bold plan for precipitating a battle and making it as
crippling as possible to the British was adopted, and Prescott was
sent with about a thousand men to intrench himself on Charlestown
Heights.
"The steepness of Btmker Hill on the western side made it im-
possible for our troops on the stmimit to depress their gims enough
to prevent the British from seizing Charlestown Neck and thus
capturing o\xr forces on the stimmit of Bunker Hill. Hence the occu-
pation of Breed's Hill was a necessity, probably not unanticipated
by our generals at Cambridge, as from that point the North End of
Boston and the shipping could be commanded. The result of this
bold move exactly corresponded to the purpose of fortifying Charles-
town Heights. The British did accept the challenge and did suffer
such a loss in carrying our position as proves the regulars' marvellous
courage and high discipline. Their total force engaged was about
2,640 men and ofi&cers, of which niunber 1,054 were killed or woimded,
a proportion of average losses rarely recorded in any battle, while
the whole right wing of Howe's line, in front of the rail fence held by
Stark and Putnam, was utterly and hopelessly routed.
"According to General Howe's letter of Jime 22, 1775, still pre-
served, we now know that the entire British army in Boston on that
day was not quite 5,500, of whom 1,450 were needed to garrison the
town; this would leave 4,050 for off ensive operations ; of this 4,050,
oBcnctal ^information 173
2,640 were engaged in the battle; they lost 1,054, or 40 per cent,
which was 26 per cent of the entire available field force on Jiine 17.
This loss so crippled the British army that they were thenceforth
on the defensive and dared not risk another such battle for the pos-
session of Dorchester Heights. This crippling of the British army
was hoped for in challenging them to fight at Charlestown; our
objective, which was to prevent them from occupying Dorchester
Heights, was won and thus gained time for us to obtain the ordnance
necessary to make our occupation of those heights effective in closing
British sea commimication and thus assuring their surrender or the
evacuation of Boston, without damaging the town if we would not
fire on them. Thus Bunker Hill is an historic battle and will continue
to be so as years pass. Indeed, a critical study of the movements of
that battle on both sides will well repay the military student, even
though he may have taken part in the greatest battles of the
Rebellion." — Horace N. Fisher.

THE PRESIDENT'S NEW YEAR'S GREETING
Boston, 1 January, 1913.
The President, to all Compatriots, gives most hearty New Year's Greeting,
and seeks personally to say to each and all:
Compatriots :
We are at the parting of the ways. Your ideas and mine, those of
our Fathers, as to what the word "Americanism" means, are not the
ideas of many of our fellow citizens. A new conception of the body
politic, of the popular participation in government of, for, and by
the people, is in process of evolution. Economic beliefs and former
standards are shattered; the very fabric of our American system is
under review.
We confront problems, intensified by significant developments of
the past year. The privilege of membership in our Society becomes
more and more the opportunity to serve for American ideals. Can
we not give our influence for maintenance of those conceptions of the
Fathers which are foundation principles of the Republic, while con-
ceding freely to the restless age and changing views on many phases
of life and action of these strenuous times.
Less politics, more thoughtful study and appreciation of the value
of our heritage, are needed. It is the part of wisdom that we imder-
stand what we believe. Each one of us should know more about
the history of oiu* country and should strive to apply such knowledge
towards the good of our fellow men. There is solemn need of better
understanding between older and younger Americans — descendants
of the founders and those who, having accepted heartily our invita-
tion, in these later days are bringing new blood, new ideas, new
theories into America.
We can learn much from the new comers — frugality, love of the
home — to get back to God's plan in family, and social and civic life;
to practical and literal obedience to the Ten Commandments and the
Golden Rule. We should be able to show what liberty under law
means and that Americanism rests upon firm foundations, glorying
in its past, living and working today, with perfect confidence in the
future. We Americans, of all origins and descents, must get together
and help each other, for the good of all. God has joined us together,
178 <^on$r of ti)e Slmettcan Heboiution
the American people, and we have work to do in opposing efforts
that would tear us apart.
Now, this means just this: "Get next" to the twentieth century-
American: we are dangerously near to forgetting that we've rolled
by a dozen years of the new century — almost an eighth of it. Aren't
we rather laying back on our oars and thinking nineteenth century
thoughts in the most vital of all centuries, in our pride in eighteenth
century achievements? Well, if that is so, we've got to "forget it"
and "get next" to 1913, or it will get by us.
Now for a practical suggestion : Suppose the members and chapters
engage in a systematic method of keeping the present generation
better informed on the great events of American Revolutionary
history, and as a step in that direction, so far as possible, observe in
some general way, for the benefit of their respective communities,
when convenient and consistent, certain especial dates. These
observations may take the form of public meetings attended by all
of the members of the Society in the immediate vicinity, with ad-
dresses and other forms of entertainment, respecting the American
Revolution and its relation to the present. Certain anniversary days
should be observed by the display of the National Flag.
The events and dates suggested as appropriate for observation
are: January 1 — Flag of the Colonies raised at Cambridge, 1776;
February 22 — Washington bom, 1732; March 17 — British evacuated
Boston, 1776; April 19 — Revolutionary War began, 1775, and Revo-
lutionary army disbanded, 1783; May 6 — Celebration at Valley
Forge Camp of the announcement of French aid, 1778; June 14 —
United States flag created, 1777; June 17 — Battle at Bunker Hill,
1775; July 4 — Independence declared, 1776; August 16 — Battle at
Bennington, 1777; September 22 — Nathan Hale executed, 1776;
October 19 — Yorktown surrendered, 1781; November 2 — ^Wash-
ington's farewell to the army, 1783; December 16 — France recog-
nized the United States as an independent nation, 1782.
Membership in the Sons of the American Revolution is the accept-
ance of a solemn duty — to build into the structure of the American
Republic the maintenance of true and endtiring principles. Are we
doing it, each and all of us? Let us try to build statelier mansions
as this new year's swift seasons roll.
Fraternally,
Edwin S. Crandon, President.

HON. JAMES LOGAN'S ADDRESS AT WORCESTER,
OCTOBER 19, 1911
Sons of the American Revolution :
I have prepared no lengthy address, as I was simply asked to give
to our visitors a word of kindly greeting, which as Mayor of the City
I am glad to do.
You come to no mean city for your outing today. Worcester is a
city with a long and honorable record behind it, and any man might
have a reasonable pride in being permitted to render service to such a
city as Mayor. So today, while as Mayor I stand as the representa-
tive of the sons of many nations in this city, we are all at heart true
Americans, remembering always that true Americanism has nothing
to do with a man's ancestors or his place of birth.
The foundations of true Americanism are laid in lofty aspirations
which have their source in the heart and conscience of the people, and
we can heartily subscribe to the large thought to which our great
Senator Hoar once gave expression when he said: "If every man of
native birth were to die tonight, the men of foreign birth, who have
come here to seek home and liberty under the shadow of the Republic,
would carry on the government in God's own appointed way."
From all quarters of the globe we have gathered here in Massa-
chusetts to make our homes. The blood of all the families of mankind
mingle here in a national life-giving stream, which flows into the
civic life of America, and while the great Father of us all ordained
that among the nations of the earth the language of the lips should
be different, he also ordained that the language of the heart should
be the same.
Today, we hark back to that day in 1775 when your forefathers
revolted against the tyranny of George the Third. How little that
means to the millions who enjoy the blessings which your forefathers
fought for, but how much it meant to them.
When they struck the blow for freedom, we were a feeble people
scattered along the Atlantic Coast in widely separated settlem.ents, a
people with diverse interests and in no way homogenous, with dif-
ferent characteristics, customs and manners; but they all loved
liberty, and loving it they were determined to possess it, even though
to secure it they followed the path of glory to the grave.
For hundreds of years men had struggled blindly, sometimes con-
fusedly, but always steadily upward toward that national freedom
which makes liberty the biilwark of prosperity and the foxmtain of
180 Jhwf^ of tt)e 9lmetican Iflebolutton
happiness, until that day in July, one hundred and thirty-five years
ago, when upon this continent was founded a government based upon
the rights of man.
The spirit of Bunker Hill was a part of the cargo that came over in
the Mayflower. Since that day when the Mayflower landed her
precious cargo at Plymouth, many vessels have entered our ports but
none have brought anything more valuable than the ideals of liberty
which came with those first sturdy pioneers. They laid the founda-
tions upon which the United States have been built.
Bimker Hill made another George the Third impossible, and it also
made possible the reign of Victoria the Good, and also the reign of
that splendid disciple of peace, Edward VH. The free England of
today would have been impossible without the separation of the
colonies from the mother country. The hour had struck on the great
clock which marks time and eternity and the world was ready for the
cultivation of the ideals of liberty. But that was not a growth that
sprang into existence in 1776. Oh, no, it was then that the flower
bloomed, but the seed had been planted long years before, and the
roots had taken firm hold in fertile soil.
George the Third, as other monarchs had done for thousands of
years, tried to rule by the sword, and relied upon the sword to make
his will effective, but a better day was dawning when the ruler of a
great nation would rule through the heart and conscience of his people,
and as a result the institutions of our mother country have been grow-
ing more and more democratic and the position of her monarch has
been made more and more secure.
The tree of liberty has been nurtured by the blood of the British
people, and when I use those words I use them in no contracted sense.
Were there to be cut from the tree of liberty those branches which
have been grafted into it by the British people and their descendants,
grafts that have been bought with the blood of her noblest sons —
were those branches to be cut off, the tree of liberty would shrink to
an insignificant shrub.
Democratic Great Britain is the rich fruitage of the planting on
Btmker Hill, one hundred and thirty-six years ago, and the memories
and traditions of that struggle on the heights of Bunker Hill which
ended in a defeat, but which defeat wore the mantle of glory is now
the priceless heritage of honor for both the mother country and our
own, and all the sons and daughters of both countries have a right to
their share in the glory which is ours.
But what a splendid foe your forefathers had to fight! General
atitire^^e^ 181
Howe, who on the Heights of Quebec sixteen years before had stood
with twenty-four others in a forlorn hope, was more alone at Bunker
Hill, where every one of the twelve officers on his staff was either
killed or wounded. He promised his men not to send them where he
could not go himself and nobly did he keep his promise. Three times
inside of an hour and a half he led the British storming column at a
cost of 224 killed and 830 wounded, and of the killed and woimded
157 were officers. It was from just such stock as this that your fore-
fathers sprung. In one of General Howe's companies every man was
killed or wounded. The price our fathers paid for us on that day was
150 killed and 270 woimded, and this price was willingly paid that
you and I might have the priceless heritage of freedom. The men who
defended and the men who stormed the heights of Bunker HiU were
of the same material out of which could be built the two leading
nations of the world.
As the years went on and the nation expanded. New England gave
her sons to settle the fertile fields of the West. They went there to
take up the rich farming land, but in a larger way they went for
another piupose, not known or appreciated then. In the providence
of God they went with the spirit of Bunker Hill to hold that great
empire of the West against the assaults of slavery, so that when in the
fullness of time the cause of freedom needed defenders in the West,
the seed from old New England had taken deep root and kept the
great Southwest forever free.
The United States has rendered an incalculable service to humanity
by merely living and thriving for the last one hundred and thirty-five
years. We have kept steadily on our cotuse and have held to that
form of government which in every age has been the ideal and hope
of every generous soul. We have foimd our form of government
sufficient for all purposes, for peace, order, education, for the acquisi-
tion of wealth and the seciu-ity of property, for strength to withstand
the shock of battle and for clemency after the tritmiph of Civil War.
True we have a written constitution, but this government of otirs
does not depend on the thoughts of man committed to paper, but
upon those eternal principles implanted in the heart of man by
Almighty God.
WASHINGTON, THE GREAT
AMERICAN
By Rev. Dr. Daniel Dulany Addison
Address delivered at the Hotel Vendome, February 22, 1913
Gentlemen, Descendants of Heroes of the American Revo-
lution:
I like to feel that I have a personal justification in appearing here
today to speak to you on this subject. As your President has indi-
cated, I am a Virginian by birth, a resident of the city of Washington
until I came to Massachusetts, and a member of the church that
George Washington served so long as a member of the vestry, but
further than that it interests me, without going into personal matters,
to recall, as every patriot must be thrilled by such memories, that my
great, great-grandfather was one of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence (applause), and that another ancestor of mine, the
Rev. Walter Dulany Addison, lived at Oxon Hill, on the Potomac
River, almost across from Moimt Vernon. The intercotu-se between
the Washington family and the Addison family at Oxon Hill was very
close and intimate, so much so that when General Washington died
this clergyman of our church that I am speaking of, the Rev. Walter
Dulany Addison, was one of the clergymen who officiated at his
funeral. These are personal thoughts, but they make one, as I say,
thrill to recall that your representative and my representative in that
period responded as men of action to the need of the time. In other
words, you and I are as near those great events represented by our
ancestors as we possibly could be, and we like to feel that if we our-
selves had been there in those days we should have responded as they
responded. Let us lay that to our souls and feel that we should have
so given our interest and our life for the great cause.
Henry Cabot Lodge, in his very remarkable life of Washington, says
that on the 9th of February in the year 1800 there was a great military
display in the city of Paris. They were celebrating the successes of
the Egyptian expedition, and the flower of the French soldiers were
there on the Champs de Mars in their glitter and their pomp, and
every flag was draped in black. He said that on the same day on the
9ldtire^30fejef 183
victorious squadrons of the English navy in the English Channel
every flag was at half mast. Why? Because the news had come to
them that George Washington had died. France honored him in the
midst of her own rejoicing and victories, and the English fleet, repre-
senting the nation from which he had wrested an empire, also honored
him. This means that they recognized that one of the great creative
souls of human history had passed away.
In studying his life, we must put aside the mythical Washington
or the one that has grown up through tradition, and think of him as a
man who developed, not rapidly, but through the circumstances of
his career, always responding to those calls that came to him. A boy
in the old Dominion of Virginia, reared in a family of refinement,
with traditions of manhood, living in the country, enjoying all those
sports and avocations of the country life which give good health,
strong constitution, and a manly outlook on the world, his education
was very humble. He was taught to read by the parish sexton, and
what little learning he gained in his youth, or childhood rather, was
through the minister and his mother and the few relatives who took
interest enough in him to assist in his training. But the greatest
factor in his growing manhood was Lord Fairfax, a man of refinement
and education, who had seen a great deal of the courts of Europe and
who soon learned to love young Washington, talking to him about
important aft'airs and helping him to decide what he should do. He
found an apt pupil; for this we know from the diaries written by
Washington as a boy, containing the wonderful list of directions and
rules for the government of his life, which in many respects are equal
to those Lord Chesterfield gave to his son. One, for instance, I recall,
where he said: " Let me ever keep burning in my heart that spark of
celestial fire called conscience." This was the boy who had a fine
purpose from the very start. He did not know exactly what was to
be his business, but finally, through Lord Fairfax, who desired to
have him survey properties that he owned, he took up the work of a
surveyor. This led him far afield in the wilderness. And the remark-
able fact is that the surveying by George Washington is permanent
and authoritative today, showing with what accuracy and care he
entered into every work that he undertook.
This surveying led him out into the West, where he learned to know
Indian and pioneer life. He sat beside the camp fire and prepared
himself to be the pioneer scout and soldier that he afterwards became.
With difficulties in the way, he performed this work admirably. His
military interest naturally arose from the fact that the French and
184 Jhon^ of tl^e American Hebolutton
Indians were making encroachments on the West. He was soon sent
out with a small expedition in that direction ; and it was at that time
that he first really sprang into national fame. It was rather remark-
able that a man in his early twenties should suddenly find himself
famous throughout the world. The reason was that at the Great
Meadows he met a French force greater than his own. He engaged
in battle ; and a leading French officer was killed in that action. The
only member who escaped to Canada afterwards told, and it was
known in Paris and England and elsewhere, that a man by the name of
Washington had met a French force and had overcome them. He
was called an assassin in those days, but they little knew that he so
organized his slight force that he was able to overcome the enemy.
This prepared him, of course, for his next great interest.
When Braddock came to our country to push back the French and
the Indians, there was no one in Virginia who had had the same
pioneer experience in scouting as Washington, so naturally he was
attached to Braddock. We remember the story of how he advised
Braddock about methods of fighting in the wilderness ; but he could
not impress upon him the fact that he must not go with his flags
flying and his drums beating as he would on the field of battle in
Europe or on some parade ground. Of course, the Indians ambushed
them and they were overcome. But the one figure that stood out in
Braddock's defeat was yoimg Washington, who organized the dis-
ordered companies and saved many of them by the heroism of his own
personality ; and it is the irony of history that the man whose advice
was rejected by General Braddock was the man who read the burial
service over the grave of the English general.
In understanding Washington's life we can divide it into three
periods : the first period up to the time of the breaking out of the
American Revolution; then the period of the war; and then the
period after the war, the great constructive epoch in our history. I
have traced rapidly the life of Washington up to Braddock's defeat.
From that time to the outbreak of the war he was alive to all problems
of the young colonists. He had made up his mind, as is shown by
his letters, that the time was coming when we should have to struggle
against the English government, and also perhaps in the dim future
to have our independence. He was a member of the vestry. He was
the lieutenant-colonel of the forces in Virginia. In fact, just before
the outbreak of the American Revolution he was by all odds the first
soldier in the land, for he had had experience among the Indians and
French pioneers; he had had experience with the trained troops of
^hhtt^0e^ 185
Europe. He had watched them carefully — their methods of drill and
their system. When the call came, the country turned to the one man
who could help them. He was equipped so well that instantly they
thought of him, and Congress elected him to be the commander-in-
chief of the American forces.
There was one incident in the House of Burgesses that is of great
interest. We speak of him as a silent man. He was. He kept his
own counsel. No one could tell what was working in his mind. He
never spoke of himself, only he spoke through his acts. As an old
motto on a family coat-of-arms that I recently saw reads, "Let the
deed show." But he did make one speech in the House of Burgesses,
and it was the most eloquent speech made on the occasion. He rose
and said, " I at my own charges will take a thousand men to the help
of the men in Boston," and he sat down. That was all, but it was
enough. It showed his spirit. (Applause.)
When he came to Boston to take command of the American forces
he was dealing with numbers of men that he had never met before,
under conditions that were strange, and yet by his adaptation, and
dignity, and knowledge of character, he was able to weld these forces
into an effective group of men and soldiers. As he said himself after-
wards, he considered that it was one of the most remarkable pieces
of work that any general had ever been called upon to perform. Here
in Boston were fifty-five hundred English troops, and with his raw
recruits without any powder he kept them at bay. By placing
his guns on Dorchester Heights, without practically striking a blow
in battle, he won the first great victory of the American Revolution.
The English troops evacuated Boston; and Boston attained her
liberty. Never again were the English soldiers there with power
during the whole Revolution. This initial stroke was a stroke of
genius. Without great bloodshed he was able to free the city of
Boston from the enemy. (Applause.)
Then on to New York, with the great defeat. And let us say here
that Washington was in some respects greater in defeat than in
victory, because he knew how to handle the defeat. He never was
overwhelmed with any sense of melancholy; he never for an instant
lost faith in himself or his cause. He used his defeat for further
victories. After the campaigns about New York he was constantly
driven back. The English soldiers were rejoicing in their victories,
and they thought the American Revolution was over, but Washing-
ton, driven into New Jersey, crossed the Delaware, and struck that
marvellous blow at Trenton, then at Princeton and at Germantown
186 ^oniei of tl)c American Ulebolutton
though a defeat there, but he showed that he was still alive. As some
who have analyzed his military purposes have said, Washington did not
attempt to meet the British forces on the field in great battles, but he
desired, whatever his defeats might be, to keep an army in the field, and
as long as he kept an army in the field, wherever that army might be,
the Revolution would go on, and if he could continue it long enough
there would be success to the American cause. When he struck de-
tachm_ents here and there, as he did at Trenton and at Princeton, it was
to show that he was still in the field. He could let the English have one
or two cities, or a dozen cities, on the seaboard, if they stayed there.
As you remember, Benjamin Franklin said in Paris when he heard
that the English troops had taken Philadelphia, "Why, yes, that is ex-
cellent, because Philadelphia has taken them." Let them have Phila-
delphia and New York, but as long as the American soldiers were in
the field and could maintain themselves the Revolution would go on.
And this was the reason that during the time of Valley Forge, the
lowest ebb of the American cause, when Congress through stupidity
and through lack of power was not able to give the money and the
men that were needed, and enlistments were such that a new army
had to be created almost every six months, Washington out of his own
purse, and by writing constant letters to his friends and representa-
tives in Congress, desired to have his soldiers there so they might
simply be in the field standing guard. If it had taken ten or fifteen
years. General Washington and the men who felt like him would have
still been in the army working for the success of their cause, because
they were determined; they had great convictions; they were not
only defending their homes, but a few of them, like Washington, were
trying to lay the foundations of a great nation, a great empire. There
were not many of those men of large vision. It was the foresight of
Washington which made him realize what the future of this country
might be. Alexander Hamilton was one who had the larger thought,
but he was not bom in this land. Among all the colonists, who had
lived rather a local, circumscribed life, Washington was the one who
had the sense to feel the greatness of the empire which was to be
fotmded here. He was determined that he would give his property,
his fortune, his life, everything, for that cause.
As a military genius, he showed his great power in thus using his
defeats for further victories and always maintaining an army in the
field at every cost. Oh, what was the joy in his heart when he heard
that the English troops were going down to Philadelphia ! Was he
to interfere with their taking that city? No. Why? And here
aiiDrejsfjBfeia? 187
comes in the largest strategy of the war. He had learned that an
army was coming by way of Canada down to attack us from the
north, and his (Washington's) fear was that the British army in
New York woiild march up the Hudson and join the British army
coming from the north and so divide the northern colonies from the
southern colonies. This, indeed, might have been the destruction
of the American cause. But Washington had written to Congress and
to officers to have a force go quietly up to the north to meet the
British army. If he had seen that the English troops around New
York were going up towards Albany, then he would have had to fight
in the rear, but he would have fought what he considered a losing
cause, so he rejoiced in his soul when he heard that they were going
down to Philadelphia. He knew that the fanners would rise up
around Albany and Saratoga and take care of that army by them-
selves, as they did when the elite of the English troops, headed by
Burgoyne, surrendered to the American farmers at Saratoga.
Then other battles came when the allies helped and when the cause
was practically won. After the victory and when peace was estab-
lished, we find again that Washington was the one man who saw the
weakness of our federation, and worked harder than any of the others
for the establishment of the American union. He believed in a strong
centralized government, that the national government should have a
power greater than that of the states, that it should be able to weld
these several colonies into a strong nation. And how great his
prescience was! when we know today that it took a great war to
emphasize the thought of the federal authority, and that we have not
as yet the federal government as strong as it ought to be. The only
way in which you and I practically through our daily lives ever- come
in touch with the centralized American government is through the
postoffice and the postman who comes to our door. We have yet to
fight out on a larger scale those problems of the centralized govern-
ment in our land, and when we do we shall be carrjang out the desire
and the will of Washington and Hamilton and those other great
spirits among our forefathers — the American union, the government
of the people.
Washington saw, when he refused a crown, that this must be a
republic. He believed that no men were great enough to govern others
without their consent, as Lincoln said, and he laid firmly those founda-
tions which have made us the land of the free and the land where the
people rule. If in the midst of our modem political conditions and
strange theories of government, we may have to change some of our
188 ^on^ei of tf)e American Hebolutiott
constitutional methods, it will always be in the direction of greater
authority lodged in the hands of the people ; and when the people are
educated and learn their power, when they combine for high pur-
poses, there is no authority or power in this land that can withstand
them. When the evils have grown so great that the people rise in
their might and say they must be controlled and destroyed they will
be controlled and destroyed. (Applause.)
Whether it is by a form of representative government, by checks
and balances, as we inherited it from the past, or whether it is to be
by the more direct expression of the will of the people, we are in an
evolutionary stage which is bringing to us nearer the great open doors
of the new civilization, the civilization which will be based upon
patriotism and justice and righteousness, and that evolution has
come directly from that which Washington and our patriots in those
days started, the foundations they laid. The structure is to be built
upon that. We are not in a static condition, of course; government
never is. We have to reinterpret old constitutions ; we have to estab-
lish new methods. But let us always remember that if you can trust
the people, as Washington trusted them, as Lincoln trusted them, then
our problems will be solved in a judicial, in a patriotic and a righteous
way. That is simply our confidence in the htmian soul when it is
given its freedom and when there are no outside obstacles to control
it and no pressure brought to bear upon it from artificial laws or
influences that have been operative in past times. Democracy in its
essence simply means a confidence in the human soul; if we cannot
have confidence in the human soul, why, then in a certain sense we
cannot have confidence in the God who created the hiunan sotil. The
philosophy imderlying our American institutions is the conviction
that the human sotd has in it a divine element, and when it is given
the opportunity and the training it will be able to express itself
according to the will of God.
These were the underlying ideas in the mind of General Washington
as we find them in his letters, his vast correspondence, and in some
of his speeches as President of the United States. And furthermore,
he established a land here, and he knew that he was so establishing
it, in which opportunity is given for every talent and ability that man
possesses. There are no artificial chains that bind genius here. The
boy from the slums or the boy from the Back Bay equally has his
chance. America is the place for the manufacture of many noble
things, but the greatest manufacture of all is the manufacture of
character. We are here producing opportunities for men of character
']3itihte00t0 189
who can make their way to the highest positions in the land. While
we, members of this organization, members of other patriotic organi-
zations, love to refer to our ancestors and to remember what they
have done, yet we also recall that, as Napoleon once said, "I am an
ancestor." So men rise up today and become an ancestor, and we
honor them, and we say that it is an example of what this land of
ours can do and what it is ready to give to every individual who has
ability, a chance to express that ability and to make a permanent
place for himself in our land.
So we have rapidly sketched the life of one of our great heroes, we
have tried to put our finger here and there on his genius and what he
stood for. If we are true American patriots we shall not only honor
Washington by our veneration and applause, but we shall do our
best to stand guard and to see that those principles which he estab-
lished shall become more generally extended, that his wisdom shall
be incorporated in any new instruments or methods of government
that we may adopt, and that his graciousness and kindliness and
brotherliness shall come to our aid as we try to assimilate the great
numbers of strangers who come to our shores from foreign lands,
lands that are far removed from Anglo Saxon tradition. We shall
never go far wrong if we have a confidence in the htiman soul; if we
believe that men are the children of God, and as children of God we
shall be worthy members of the new civilization which is to come and
develop out of that which has been laid by the forefathers whom we
honor today. (Great applause.)
LEXINGTON-CONCORD-BUNKER HILL
The British Soldiers' Side
Address by Brig. Gen. Philip Reade, U. S. Army (retired)
before the massachusetts society; sons
OF THE American Revolution.
King George III set himself, his ministers, Parliament and all
Great Britain to subdue to his will one stubborn town on the sterile
coast of Massachusetts Bay.
Gen. Thomas Gage had been appointed commander-in-chief of
the British forces in the colonies, was made governor, and four
additional regiments of soldiers with proper artillery were sent to
Boston to support him in his arbitrary measures, reinforcing those
sent in 1767, to overawe sixteen thousand people of European origin,
all of whom learned to read and write. Among these people were
Samuel Adams, John Hancock, James Warren, James Bowdoin, John
Adams, James Otis, Joseph Hawley, Josiah Quincy, Henry Knox and
Paul Revere.
The Royalist soldiers landed at Long Wharf Boston, October 1st,
1768, and remained until March 17th, 1776.
Thirty-six days after the Lexington-Concord affair, Sir William
Howe, Sir Henry Clinton, and Sir John Burgoyne with reinforce-
ments increased the strength of the Boston garrison to nearly ten
thousand men. On Lexington Day he had four thousand men,
but Gage did not disparage the character of the Colonists.
In November, 1774, he made this appeal to the British Govern-
ment: He "was confident that to begin with an army of 20,000 men
would, in the end, save Great Britain both blood and treasure" and
declared "Neither twenty, forty nor sixty thousand can end the
dawning struggle." This prophecy was echoed by Col. George
Washington: Said the latter to Capt. Robert Mackenzie, of his old
regiment, who intimated that Massachusetts was rebellious, and
sought independence: — "Unequivocally, if the ministry are deter-
mined to push matters to extremity, I add, as my opinion, that
more blood will be spilled than history has ever furnished instances
atbUre^^ejr 191
of, in the annals of North America; and such vital wound will
be given to the peace of this great country, as time itself cannot
cure, or eradicate the remembrance of." Washington and Gage
had served together, twenty years before, and until the Lexington
affair, had been friendly correspondents. It will be seen, there-
fore, that the full significance and intensity of the patriotic
ferment, and its results to the British crown, after the stem
arbitrament of war, was appreciated by General Gage, and Wash-
ington, and we may also add the names of Lord Chatham,
Lord Dartmouth, Lord Effingham, Admiral Keppel, and Granville
Sharpe.
Gage and Washington were also in accord in another respect.
Each regarded the military occupation of Boston, where the revolu-
tionary sentiment was as pronounced as in Alamance, N. C., and
the popiilation more dense as well as more enlightened, to be a grave
military, as well as political, error.
Perhaps during the midsiunmer of 1775, the beleagured city of
Boston astonished by the stolid and bloody resistance to its guardian
garrison, contained no person less astonished than Thomas Gage,
its soldier commander, who, however, was loyal to his king, —
loyalty, perhaps, not entirely shared by Mrs. Gage, who was a New
Yorker.
Frederick the Great and Washington were reticent soldiers. The
Prussian declared that "if he suspected that his nightcap would
betray his thoughts, while he slept, he would bum it," Gage's
secrets, however, were not like Washington's; some of them were
"furnished with wings" and the patriots were kept advised of the
plans of the Royalist commander. The British in Boston fared
badly. Food was scarce and poor. It was "pork and beans one day,
beans and pork another." Even in Gage's household fresh meat
was seldom to be seen. Putnam, knowing their strait, sent Gage's
wife "a fine quarter of veal," for which he received "a very polite
card of thanks."
When Washington assumed command of the Continental Army
at Cambridge (July 3rd, 1775) the yeomanry of New England had,
since Lexington Day, firmly grasped all approaches to the city of
Boston. This pressure was now and then resisted by efforts of the
garrison to seciure supplies from the surrounding coimtry farms, but
gradually the country exciu"sions of the troops were restricted within
the range of their town guns. Bullocks, flour and other provisions
were needed. Boston was surrounded by nearly twenty thousand
19S ^on^ of ti)e 9lmertcan Hebolutton
minute-men. These minute-men made persistent pressure upon every
artery through which food could flow to relieve the hungry garrison
within the British lines. Ordinary provisions had become abundant
in the Continental Army. The adjacent country fed them.
General Gage set the example in seizing military stores. His
orders required him to do so. Respecting the attempted seizure of
arms in the hands of the people, that precipitated the "skirmish,"
as the British defined it, which occurred at Lexington on April
19, 1775. Lord Dartmouth said "The effect of Gen. Gage's
attempt at Concord will be fatal." King George III called him
"The Mild General." Gage went back to England in October, 1776,
and Howe was left in command of the forces in Boston.
General Gage, April 29, 1775, sent to Governor Trumbull a narra-
tive, entitled "A circumstantial Account of an Attack that happened
on the 19th of April, 1775, on His Majesty's Troops, by a Number
of the People of the Province of the Massachusetts Bay." This
was also circulated in a handbill and is printed in the Massachusetts
Historical Collections, Vol. II, with the exception of the last para-
graph, which is as follows: "Thus this unfortunate affair has hap-
pened through the rashness and imprudence of a few people who
began firing on the troops at Lexington."
Gage's predecessor in Boston, the scholarly Lt. Gov. Thomas
Hutchinson, was a Boston man, the trend of whose mind resembled
William Bradford's and John Winthrop's, — he had, too, the courage
of his convictions, — bvit after May 13, 1774, Boston had, in Gage,
as governor, not a historian, but a soldier who had exhibited gallantry
in Braddock's time and who had been commissioned "to observe
and follow such orders and directions from time to time as he shall
receive from His Majesty, the King, or the superior officers set over
him, according to the rtdes and discipline of war." The view that
he took of men and things about him was necessarily that of a
soldier.
The king had ordered that the town of Boston be placed im-
mediately under military rule, so red coats were everywhere to be
seen, on the Common, on King Street, in the Town House, in Faneuil
Hall and the Old South Meeting House.
In 1769, Parliament requested the king to "instruct the Gov. of
Mass. to forward to England for trial, upon charges of high treason"
several prominent citizens of that colony, "who had been guilty of
denouncing Parliamentary action."
The orders of his sovereign compelled Gage to use military force
^Utixt^^e^ 193
to vindicate and execute authority, — that is what his troops were
there for.
The English sovereign ordered him to "seize all arms and powder."
An act of Parliament forbade the exportation of arms to the Colonies.
Thus by royal decree and Parliamentary Act, Gage's duty was to
send Colonel Leslie February 26, 1775 with three hundred of the king's
troops from Castle Island to Salem to capture a number of cannon se-
creted there. This affair was bloodless and the Colonists saved their
cannon, but the episode at Salem North Bridge marked the first
armed resistance to the measures of the king's troops. Gage learned
that the Committee of the Provincial Congress had caused military
stores to be deposited at Concord and Worcester. He turned his
attention to Concord. His soldiers captured powder stored in the
old mill not far from the hill on which Tufts College now stands, and,
on the same day, they carried off two field-pieces from Cambridge.
Vol. IV, 2nd series of the Massachusetts Historical Collections
gives the instructions of Lieutenant-General Gage to his scouts,
Capt. Brown, 52nd Regiment and Ensign D'Bemi^re, 10th Regi-
ment, on Feb. 22, 1775, regarding contraband munitions of war that
were being gathered for Provincial uses against the king's troops.*
The execution of the Boston Port Bill devolved on Gen. Thos.
Gage. His manners were pleasing. He entered upon his duties
with a large measure of popularity. His letters, his orders, his trials,
his experiences, display the diversities between civilians and military
men. Gage has been measured and recorded by non-military men.
His instructions required him to compel "a full and absolute sub-
mission" to the rigorous laws of Parliament; and to this end he was,
if it should be considered necessary, authorized to employ with effect
the king's troops. This was a harsh duty to perform, but the ministry
resolved to subdue Massachusetts by arms.
The letters of Lord Dartmouth and General Gage, or extracts
from them, were published in the Parliamentary Register, of 1775.
The Earl of Dartmouth, in a letter to Governor Gage, dated
April 9, 1774, after urging the duty of "mild and gentle per-
suasion," says: "at the same time, the sovereignty of the king,
in this Parliament, over the Colonies, requires a full and abso-
lute submission; and his majesty's dignity demands, that until
that submission be made, the town of Boston, where so much
anarchy and confusion have prevailed, should cease to be the
place of residence of his governor, or of any other officer of
Government who is not obliged by law to perform his functions
• See also Boatonian Society Publications, vol. ix.
194 J>on^ of tt)e ^merttan Heboiution
there." After dwelling on the "criminality" of those who aided
in the proceedings in Boston during the months of November
and December, 1773, the letter says: "The king considers the
punishment of these offenders as a very necessary and essential
example to others of the ill consequences that must follow from
such open and arbitrary usurpations as tend to the subversion
of all government, etc." The instructions of the Treasury
Board, dated March 31, were equally rigorous, and looked to a
complete prostration of the commerce of Boston.
Copies of these Regulating Acts were received early in June, and
were immediately circulated through the colonies. General Gage did
not receive them officially until the 6th of August, and with them a
letter of instructions from the government. Lord Dartmouth hoped
these new laws would have "the good effect " to give vigor to the civil
authority, and instructed the governor at all hazards to put them in force.
A meeting of delegates from committees of the coimties of
Worcester, Essex, and Middlesex was held on 26th of August,
1774, at Faneuil Hall. The governor, meantime, kept a watchful
eye on these movements. He resolved to use his troops to
disperse public meetings and to protect the courts; and made his
first attempt at Salem. A meeting was called in this town, August
20, by printed handbills from the committee of correspondence.
On the 23rd of August, General Gage issued a proclamation,
forbidding all persons to attend this meeting, "or any other
not warranted by law" as they would be chargeable with all
the ill consequences that might follow and must "answer
for them at their utmost peril. ' ' The inhabitants, however, assembled
on the 24th, according to the notice. By request, the committee
waited on General Gage, who ordered them to dissolve the meeting.
The committee began to argue the legality of the assembly. "I
came to execute the laws not to dispute them," replied Gage. A
detachment of troops was ordered to disperse the meeting ; but while
the committee were in consultation, the people transacted their
business and adjourned, and the discomfited governor gratified his
resentment by arresting those who called the unlawful assembly.
On June 24th, General Gage issued a proclamation against the
Solemn League and Covenant.
The next attempt of General Gage indicated his intention to
secure the cannon and powder of the province, and thus disarm the
people. Under the sanction and direction of members of the com-
^LUtirr^^ejf 195
mittees of correspondence of Boston, Charlestown and Cambridge, the
people repaired in a body to the residence of Lieutenant-Governor
Oliver, and obliged him to resign his office. The resignation of other
important officers, who had accepted appointments or executed
processes, was "procured." General Gage was advised by his ad-
herents not to use force to disperse this meeting, and thus, unmo-
lested, it acted in a revolutionary manner almost within gun-shot of
his batteries. "The flames of sedition," he writes, September 2, "had
spread universally throughout the country beyond conception," and he
assured Lord Dartmouth that "civil government was near its end"
that the time for "conciliation, moderation, reasoning, was over;"
and that nothing could be done but by forcible means; that Con-
necticut and Rhode Island were as furious as Massachusetts; that
the only thing to be done was to secure the friends of the government
in Boston; to reinforce the troops and act as circumstances might
require. "I mean, my lord," he adds, "to secure all I can by degrees,
to avoid any bloody crisis as long as possible, unless forced into it
by themselves, which may happen." But as it was resolved "to
stem the torrent, not to yield to it" he frankly told the minister
"that a very respectable force should take the field."
This was the period of transition from moral suasion to physical
force. General Gage saw no hope of procuring obedience but by
the power of arms ; and the patriot party saw no safety in anything
short of military preparation. Resistance to the acts continued to
be manifested in every form. On the 9th of September the memora-
ble Suffolk resolves were adopted, going to the same length with
those of Middlesex; and these were succeeded by others in other
coimties equally bold and spirited. These resolves were approved
by the Continental Congress, then in session. Everywhere the people
either compelled the unconstitutional officers to resign, or opposed
every attempt to exercise authority, whether by the Governor or
by a constable. They also made every effort to transport ammuni-
tion and stores to places of security. Cannon and muskets were
carried secretly out of Boston. The guns were taken from an old
battery at Charlestown, where the Navy Yard is. This was difficult
to accomplish, for any unusual noise in the battery might be heard
on board a ship of war which lay opposite to it. But a party of pa-
triots, mostly of Charlestown, removed the gtms silently at night,
secreted them in the town for a few days, and eluding a strict
search made for them by British officers, carried them into the
country.
196 M>tm0 of t^t aimerican Hebolution
General Gage immediately began to fortify Boston Neck. This
added intensity to the excitement. The inhabitants became alarmed
at so ominous a movement; and, on the 5th of September, the
selectmen waited on General Gage, represented the public feeling,
and requested him to explain his object. The governor stated in
reply, that his object was to protect his majesty's troops and his
majesty's subjects; and that he had no intention to stop up any
avenue, or to obstruct the free passage over it, or to do anything
hostile against the inhabitants. He went on with the works and
soon mounted on them two twenty-four pounders and eight nine
pounders. Again, on the 9th, the selectmen called on him, and
represented the growing apprehension of the inhabitants. The
fortress, at the entrance of the town, they said, indicated a design
to reduce the metropolis to the state of a garrison. In a written
reply, General Gage repeated his former assurances, and character-
istically remarked, that it was his duty, so it should be his endeavor,
to preserve the peace and promote the happiness of every individual,
and recommend the inhabitants to cultivate the same spirit. On the
next day a committee from the Suffolk convention waited on him.
They represented that the prevailing ferment was caused by his
seizing the powder at Charlestown, by his withholding the stock in
the Boston magazine from its legal proprietors, by his new fortifica-
tion, and b}^ the insults of his troops to the people. General Gage's
reply is dated September 12. He admits instances of disorder in the
troops, but appeals to their general good behavior, and concludes,
"I would ask what occasion there is for such numbers going armed
in and out of towTi and through the country in a hostile manner?
Or why were the guns removed privately in the night from the
battery in Charlestown? The refusing submission to the late acts
of Parliament I find general throughout the province, and I shall lay
the same before his majesty." The patriots were never at a loss for
words, and on receiving this, they promptly presented an address
to the governor, recapitulating his hostile acts, and requesting him,
in his purposed representation, to assure his majesty, "That no wish
of independency, no adverse sentiments or designs toward his majesty
or his troops now here, actuate his good subjects in this colony ; but
that their sole intention is to preserve pure and inviolate those rights
to which, as men, and English Americans, they are justly entitled,
and which have been guaranteed to them by his majesty's royal
predecessors." Dr. Joseph Warren, in presenting this address to
General Gage, remarked, "That no person had, so far as he had been
^htivt^^e^ 197
informed, taken any steps that indicated any hostile intention, until
the seizing and carrying off the powder from the magazine in the
County of Middlesex."
The General Congress remonstrated on these fortifications. Gen-
eral Gage, October 20, in his reply, grimly says: "Two works of
earth have been raised at some distance from the town, wide of the
road, and gims put in them. The remains of old works, going out
of the town, have been strengthened and guns placed there likewise."
General Gage, August 27, 1774, wrote to Lord Dartmouth — "It is
agreed that popular fury was never greater in this province than at
present, and it has taken its rise from the old source at Boston, though
it has appeared first at a distance. Those demagogues trust their
safety in the long forbearance of government, and an assurance that
they cannot be punished. They chicane, elude, openly violate, or
passively resist the laws, as opportunity serves; and opposition to
authority is of so long standing, that it has become habitual."
"The people," Tudor well remarks, "were the subjects of a dis-
tant monarch, but royalty was merely in theory with them."
Governor Gage stunmoned the selectmen to meet at the Province
House, August 13, when he abruptly handed them the clause about
town-meetings, and read it to them. The selectmen replied that
the provincial law would be the rule of their conduct, when the
governor stated that he was determined to enforce the act of Parlia-
ment and that they must be answerable for any bad consequences.
Governor Gage summoned the selectmen to the Province House
to tell them that he should enforce the act. The selectmen remarked
that they should be governed by the law of the province (i. e., not the
king). Meetings called before the first of August were kept alive
for weeks and months ; and they might be kept alive, remarked Gage,
for years. The governor and his advisors were puzzled; dared not
order the troops to stop them, or forebore to do so, — and, to their
infinite annoyance, the patriots continued to thunder in the fonun.
The people flocked in crowds to Faneuil Hall, a place redolent with
the blossoming of young America. When this overflowed, the resort
was to the Old South Church, which hence has not inaptly been called
the "Sanctuary of Freedom." But in case an obnoxious office was
to be resigned, or a patriotic agreement was to be entered into, or a
public measure was to be lampooned, the concourse flocked to
Liberty Tree, where, agreeably to previous notice, the invisible
genius of the place had displayed the satirical emblems, or procured
table, paper and pens. It was a fine large old elm, near the comer
198 M>tm0 of t^t American Kebolution
of Washington and Essex Street. A staff ran through it, reaching
above it, on which a flag was displayed, and an inscription was put
on it, stating that it was pruned by order of the Sons of Liberty in
1766. All processions saluted it as an emblem of the popular cause.
No wonder it put the royal governors in mind of Jack Cade's Oak
of Reformation.
General Gage, September 2, writes of this clause in the act "No
persons I have advised with can tell what to do with it."
Boston was literally full of clubs and caucuses, which were used
with great effect to secure unity of action.
The six newspapers printed in Boston in 1774 were as follows:
The Boston Evening Post, The Boston News-Letter, Massachusetts
Gazette, Boston Post-Boy and Advertiser, Boston Gazette and Country
Journal, and The Massachusetts Spy.
"A number of the better sort of people," General Gage writes,
July 5, "attended town-meeting in Boston with a design to make a
push to pay for the tea, and annihilate the committee of correspond-
ence, but they were outvoted by a great number of the lower class."
The destruction of the tea belonging to Mr. Francis Rotch was
defended as a measure of "political necessity." The phrase "mili-
tary necessity" is an equally elastic term. All soldiers know the
forceful significance of the words "military necessity."
From the letters of the period Josiah Quincy, Jr., writes to us,
"To prepare for the worst, for it is a serious truth, in which our
friends there are all agreed, that our cotmtrymen must seal their
cause with their blood. Oiir old Louisburg soldiers laugh at the newly
erected fortifications of Gage, and say they are mud walls in com-
parison with what they have subdued; and that, if necessary, they
would regard them no more than a beaver dam."
John Adams says that the great Virginia orator, Patrick Henry,
on being told that it was Major Hawley's opinion that "We must
fight, and make preparation for it," solemnly averred, " I am of that
man's mind." Such phrases are no mere words. Then they were
things. They heralded the coming of that terrible calamity, civil
war.
All eyes then were fixed on Boston; and, until its evacuation, it
was regarded with intense interest and, at times, with apprehension.
A hostile fleet surrounded it without, a formidable military were
assembling within, tents covered its fields, cannon were planted on
its eminences, and troops daily paraded in its streets. It wore the
aspect, and became subject to the vexations, of a garrisoned town.
^DlireiBf|fej0{ 199
General Gage, his crown-appointed councillors, and the official func-
tionaries, were obliged to live in a town in which the dignity of his
majesty prescribed that not one of them should reside. This was
Dartmouth's order of April 9th, 1774. On September 20th, 1774,
Governor Gage wrote: "The factionists have some warm friends in
N. Y. and Philadelphia; the people of Charleston, S. C., are as mad
as they are here." On September 25th, General Gage writes: "The
disease is not confined to Boston : it is universal, — there is no
knowing where to apply a remedy. " In " The American Revolution,
Part 1, page 285, Sir George Otto Trevelyan says: "Gage had been
confidentially instructed by the King to ' insinuate to New York and
such other colonies as were not guided by the madness of the times,'
proposals which might entice them back to due obedience without
putting 'the dagger to their throats.' The quoted words are foimd in
letter from George the third to Dartmouth: Jan. 31, 1775."
On October 26th, 1774, a Massachusetts Provincial Congress
adopted a plan for organizing the militia, maintaining it, and calling
it out when circumstances should render it necessary. An executive
authority, — the Committee of Safety, — ^was created, clothed with
large discretionary powers; and another called the Committee of
Supplies. On the 27th, Artemus Ward and Seth Pomeroy were
chosen general officers. Among the energetic acts of this memorable
Congress was one authorizing the collection of military stores. In
November, the Committee authorized the purchase of materials for
an army, and ordered them to be deposited at Concord and Worcester.
These proceedings were denounced by General Gage, in a proclama-
tion dated November 10th, as treasonable, and a compliance with
them was forbidden. In a short time the king's speech and the action
of Parliament were received, which manifested a firm determination
to produce submission to the late Acts, and to maintain "the supreme
authority" of Great Britain over the colonies. However, a second
Provincial Congress (Feb. 1 to 16, 1775) renewed the measiu-es of
its predecessor, and gave definiteness to the duties of the Committee
of Safety by "empowering and directing" them (February 9th) to
assemble the militia whenever it was required to resist the execution
of the two acts. Two additional generals, John Thomas and William
Heath, were appointed. It was made the duty of the five general
officers to take charge of the militia when called out by the Com-
mittee of Safety, and to "effectually oppose and resist such attempt
or attempts as shall be made for carrying into execution by force"
the two acts. This Congress appealed to the towns for support. It
200 ^on^ef of tl)e 2lmerican lliebolution
urged that, when invaded by oppression, resistance became "the
Christian and social duty of each individual." The conviction was
fast becoming general that force only cotdd decide the contest.
Stimulated and sustained by such a public opinion, the committees
of safety and supplies were diligent, through the gloomy months
of winter, in collecting and storing at Concord and Worcester, ma-
terials for the maintenance of an army. Towns voted freely
money to arm, equip and discipline "Alarm List Companies." These
minute-men were trained often — the towns paying the expense.
The company, after its field exercises, would sometimes repair to the
meeting-house to hear a patriotic sermon, or partake of an entertain-
ment at the town-house where zealous "Sons of Liberty" would
exhort them to prepare to fight bravely for God and their country.
Thus an army was in existence around Gage, should he make a foray.
On the 17th of November, Gage's force consisted of eleven foot
regiments and the artillery. In December, five hundred marines
landed. There were daily moimted in December, 370 men and a
field-officers' guard on the neck. The force was brigaded under
Brigadier-General Hugh, Earl Percy; Major of Brigade Moncreiff.
Brig. Gen. Robt. Pigott; Major of Brigade Small; Third Brigadier
Jones; Major of Brigade Hutchinson.
In "The American Revolution" Trevelyan says that King George,
March 7th, 1774, — saw in General Gage, — fresh from America, —
one of those mischievous public servants who know a colony so much
better than the colonists know it themselves: "His language," —
said the king, — "was very consonant to his character of an honest
determined man. He says they will be lions, whilst we are lambs:
but if we take the resolute part, they will undoubtedly prove very
weak."
In January, 1775, King George III reconsidered the favorable
opinion which he had formed of General Gage and now declared him
"wanting in activity and decision;" — so, in vain he appealed to
Amherst to take Gage's place, — offering him a peerage, — but Amherst
"could not bring himself to serve against the Americans to whom he
had been so much obliged."
American historians like Bancroft and Parkman say that Gage was
an "amiable man having reputable military talents." Leslie Stephen
refers to his "mild rule when Governor of Montreal" and says that
Gage was "brave, not brilliant." After the Provisional Congress
refused longer to obey him as Governor, he was blamed at home and
mhxt^^e^ 201
abroad for his thankless, futile efforts. When the Colonists began
to drop the phrase "Mother England" and to substitute "British"
for "English," they began to lampoon Gage as a soldier-governor.
Like precedents are elsewhere found in history. Gage was the victim
of Lord North's "The king will have it so!" His two principal de-
tractors were his sovereign and his subordinate, Burgoyne. The latter
critic, like envious Casca, may be discounted in his aspersions of
Gage's "unfitness and incapacity" owing to his own aspirations and
vauntings. No expressions of rancour or bitterness exist in Gage's
reports. He writes of "Demagogues, seditionists, controversionists,
factionists, disunionists, armed antagonists, misguided men," and says
"the law is studied by everybody in Boston, — Insult and provocation
are rife in the air. They are past masters in the art of invective."
After the fierce fight of King's Mountain, a headstone was placed for
rifleman Major Patrick Ferguson, Royalist. North Carolina has
within its limits, besides Mecklenbiu-g and Alamance, the carefully
marked battle-field of Guilford Court House and here stands the
plain marble shaft of Lieutenant-Colonel Stuart of the Queen's
Guards, erected by the Guilford Battle Ground Company in honor of
a brave foeman one hundred and fourteen years after his death.
American sympathies and recognition went out at the dedication
of the monument to Sir Isaac Brock, after Queenstown Heights.
The running fights of Lexington and Concord are shown by
tablets, but there are at least three unmarked graves tenanted by
British soldiers. One is in the Lexington graveyard; two are by the
roadside near the statue of the embattled farmer in Concord. These
men died doing what they conceived to be their duty. James Russell
Lowell pays them fitting tribute as follows:
"These men were brave enough and true
To the hired soldier's bull-dog creed;
What brought them here they never knew.
They fought as suits the English breed;
They came three thousand miles and died
To keep the past upon its throne —
Unheard, beyond the ocean tide,
Their English mother made her moan."
