Excerpt from The Principles for Which the American, Revolution Was Fought: An Address Before the Ohio Society Sons of the Revolution Delivered at the Queen City Club; Cincinnati, Ohio February 22 1904
The incorporators of the Society of the Sons of the Revolution, in their announcement of the reasons for the formation of the society, declared that they sought to develop and nourish a true patriotism and an honorable pride of lineage among those whose ancestors distinguished themselves in the perilous days of our national struggle for independence, that our ancestors did their part; they gave us the start; it is for us to keep up the impulse, and in no manner can we better further their work than by informing ourselves of what they did.
