Minute Boys of Mohawk Valley

It seems not only proper, but necessary, that I shouldexplain how the material for this story was obtained,and why it happens that I can thus set down exactlywhat Noel Campbell thought and did, during certaintimes while he was serving the patriot cause in theMohawk Valley as few other boys could have done.At some time in Noel's life - most likely after he wasgrown to be a man with children, and, perhaps,grandchildren of his own - he wrote many letters torelatives of his in Portsmouth, New Hampshire,wherein he told with considerable of detail that whichhe did during the War of the Revolution, and moreparticularly while he and his friends were fightingagainst that wily Indian sachem, Thayendanega. Theseletters, together with many others concerning thestruggles of our people for independence, came intomy keeping a long while ago, and from the lineswritten by Noel Campbell I have put together thefollowing story after much the same fashion as hehimself set it down.Otis, James is the author of 'Minute Boys of Mohawk Valley ' with ISBN 9781421800592 and ISBN 1421800594.
