In Dover on the Charles: A Contribution to New England Folk-Lore (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from In Dover on the Charles: A Contribution to New England Folk-LoreIn the archives of the State House at Boston, as I am informed by a recent writer, is preserved the original muster roll of the company which marched from Dover to Lexington, April 19, 1775, under Captain Ebenezer Battle of Dedham. The name of Josiah Battle, private, appears on that muster roll. My grandmother has told us that her father was ploughing in his field some distance from home, when the messenger arrived with the summons to join his company. The Minute Man left his plough in the furrow, put his horse into the barn, and then found that his young wife had gone after the cows. He took his powder horn and musket, filled his knapsack with rye and ingin bread and sausages, and was on his way to meet the British before she returned.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
