Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from At the Siege of Quebec
Ephraim marston and I would have entered the army when the news was brought to us, in the summer of 1775, that the Britishers had Shot down American people at Lexington and Concord, but that Ephraim's mother set her face against it, and I was bounden by more ties than those of kinship to do her bidding faithfully.
She it was who had given me a home two years before this news came to us, when, my mother having died a twelvemonth previous, Ephraim's father and mine were killed by the Indians near about Castine.
