[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from The Battle of Harlem Heights, September 16, 1776: With a Review of the Events of the Campaign What we have come to know as the "Battle of Harlem Heights" was one of those minor successes in our Revolutionary War which counted for much in stimulating the drooping spirits of the American soldier or in effectually disturbing the plans of the enemy. That Washington should speak of it as having cheered his men "prodigiously" during an otherwise depressing campaign would alone excite our interest in its details. If it cannot be quite classed with such happy strokes as Bennington or Oriskany, or with Stony Point or Cowpens or King's Mountain, it had at least a special place and significance of its own. We seem bound to appreciate it as highly as the records show it to have been appreciated by the men of the time. It was a stirring open-field affair, coming as a surprise and a check upon the enemy's pride, and calling out that recuperative power and manly courage of the as yet untrained Continental, which, with added experience, will stand him in good stead all through the Revolution. Not since Lexington and Concord, seventeen months before, had he enjoyed a chase of the regulars. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
