The Life and Career of Major John André, Adjutant-General of the British Army in America (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Life and Career of Major John André, Adjutant-General of the British Army in AmericaThe romantic nature of the circumstances which connect the name of Major André with the history of our Revolution induced me some time ago to inquire more closely into the details of a character that seems to have inspired so warm an interest in the minds of all who have had occasion to observe it. In this undertaking, I am free to confess that my success in obtaining information has been commensurate neither with my labors nor desires. No pains indeed were spared to procure intelligence concerning André himself. Every repository that could be heard of was examined; and the old-world tales of those who "mumble their wisdom o'er the gossip's bowl" have been carefully gathered and sifted. Thus, much curious matter more or less relevant to his story has been brought together from one quarter or another; and by joining what has hitherto scarcely been known at all with what every one knows, something like a connected sketch of his career has been compiled.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
