Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hugh Wynne: Free Quaker Sometime Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel on the Staff of His Excellency General Washington
As these pages will show, I have found it agree able, and at times useful, to try to understand, as far as in me lay, not only the men who were my cap tains or mates in war or in peace, but also myself. I have Often been puzzled by that well-worn phrase as to the wisdom of knowing thyself, for with what manner of knowledge you know yourself is a grave question, and it is sometimes more valuable to know what is truly thought of you by your nearest friends than to be forever teasing yourself to determine whether what you have done in the course Of your life was just what it should have been.
