Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Poem, Recited Before the Citizens of Edgartown, July 4, 1836: Being the Sixtieth Anniversary of American Independence
And distant nations did her tribute pay, Yet, fired with zeal, our fathers took the field, There dared the fight, there made a tyrant yield; There they repelled a despot's cruel laws, And boldly fought in Freedom's righteous cause. Held by that Power, and guarded by that Word, Who nerved the heart, and strengthened Gideon's sword, HE led our Joshua through the tented field.
