Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Irish in the Revolution and the Civil War
Our American citizens of Irish descent whose fathers fought in the Revolution may well be proud of the record made by their race on every battlefield from Stony Point to Yorktown. There was not a battlefield on which Irish blood did not flow freely and the Sunburst was not side by side with the red, white and blue. General Sullivan and John Langdon struck the first blow of the Revolution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
