Diary of the American Revolution from Newspapers and Original Documents (Volume 2) By Frank Moore Preface The materials of these volumes are taken from Whig and Tory newspapers, published during the American Revolution, private diaries, and other cotemporaneous writings. They present to the student of this day the same view the readers of the revolutionary period enjoyed - the manners and customs of the people, and the moral and religious, as well as political features of the time. As far as practicable, the language of the writers has been preserved. For every assertion presented the reader will find an authority which must be his guide in ascertaining its value in an historical point of view; while, at the same time, he must keep in mind the truth that the errors and lampoons of a period belong as much to its history as the facts and flatteries. Among the newspapers from which the editor has drawn his material, no one requires an especial notice in this place; a history of the periodical writers of the last century would in itself exceed the limits of these volumes. Such a work would prove an interesting and important addition to the literature of America. In conclusion, the editor acknowledges his obligations for the many favors and facilities extended to him by the various Historical Societies of the United States, most especially to the officers of the New York Historical Society, from whom he has received the most valuable assistance. Excerpt from Chapter I January 1.--At the opening of the last year, the American cause wore a sickly aspect. The Continental army, reduced to an inconsiderable body, retired as fast as the enemy advance; and a vast tract of country, from the Hudson river to the Delaware, lay exposed tot he ravages of an insulting foe. Roused at length from the lethargy which at first seemed to seize them, the militia poured in to the assistance of General Washington, and gave his little army an appearance of numbers. The fortunate surprisal of the Hessians, and the brilliant manoeuvre at Princeton, first checked the current of misfortune, and gave the tide of affairs a contrary direction. General Howe, confining himself to the narrow limits of Brunswick and Amboy, suffered us to invest him with a handful of militia. The States wisely improved the breathing spell which Heaven lent them; and such were the exertions of the winter, that, before the British army took the field, we had a respectable force on foot. A force, part of which, assisted by the gallant militia of New York and New England, hath destroyed their northern army; while the residue, though unable to stop the progress of General Howe, hath nevertheless fought him bravely, and even now limits... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.

This is a difficult time for the Church. Our world is undergoing significant change. Systems and methods that have been in place for centuries are being replaced and rebuilt; culture is being redefined; questions of faith, morality, tolerance, and belief are causing discontent, uncertainty, and distraction within the walls of the church. In this uncertain movement toward generational shifts and sociological change, is there still a system of objective thought? Do we still have a moral compass that we can rely on--one that accommodates change without compromising truth? Dismantling the Myths rises above the confusion of our time and penetrates the darkness with a rational light of verifiable truth. Providing a sane interpretation of current trends in contemporary thought, Frank Moore offers readers in-depth understanding and sound answers to the difficult questions of ethics, morality, and faith. In a world searching for identity and coherence, this book provides a positive and proven handbook of standards and procedures that are relevant, reliable, and founded on God's Word. For those struggling to find truth and definition in the muddled beliefs of a post-Christian society, Dismantling the Myths will clarify their confusion and show them the solid, eternal Rock on which to stand.
