Description
1860 American Revolution Revolutionary War Bunce Washington Indians Heroism



Olive Bell Bunce’s ‘Romance of the Revolution’ is a collection of personal accounts of heroism and cowardice, generosity and cruelty woven into the chronology of war to teach a moral lesson, often embellished to that affect. Barry Joyce points out these stories have been termed

“fragments of history… such fragments, though they are often excluded as unsuited to the dignity of history, are the surest preservers of a people’s patriotism, and the most certain link between the present and former ages. They are the legendary part of the history, and their telling will promote a better knowledge of the spirit of the time, than can be derived from most any other source.”



This 1860 illustrated edition includes stories on:

George Washington

Ethan Allen

Maiden Warriors

Daring Escapes

Officer Romance

Escapes from Indians

Enemy Capture and Cruelty

Captain Nathan Hale

And more!
