Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneers and Patriots in Early American History The stories in this book are all concerned with the great fight which our forefathers made for independence in the Revolutionary War. They are told with no desire to emphasize the glories of war, nor to encourage any tendency toward militarism; but rather to arouse an interest in our early history, in which war unfortunately had a part. As in the companion book, "Camp and Trail in Early American History," choice has been made of what are considered by the author to be type stories, which shall contribute toward the broad view of the time which we desire children to have before beginning the formal study of history. These stories bring out the character of the men who fought for freedom, and some of the conditions under which their fight was waged.
