Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Spirit of '76 in Rhode Island: Or, Sketches of the Efforts of the Government and People in the War of the Revolution
History has rendered but partial justice to the efibrts of Rhode Island during our Revolutionary struggle. No state made greater sacrifices - no state furnished more men in pro portion to its population - none more money in proportion to its wealth; and she had the honor of furnishing a General second only to the immortal commander-in-chief. Next to Washington stood General Greene, in all those traits of char acter deemed so essential in a commander of an army.
