It has often been remarked by students of American history (in this part of the country at least) that in ;te both popular and standard works on the Revolutionary and pre-R evolutionary eras there is a singular failure to sv give any adequate account of the part taken by Penn Nsylvania in the struggles of those days, or of the ini fluence of her statesmen and soldiers in moulding the national policy. g Impressed with a belief that such opinions are not without foundation, and with the hope of calling the attention of students to what I venture to term certain lost chapters of our American history, I prepared some time ago a biography of that illustrious Pennsylvania statesman John Dickinson, a man who for various reasons is little known to this generation, but who, in the formative period of our history, so guided the policy of the country that his controlling influence is readily recognized as shaping that policy from the date of the Stamp A ct to that of the Declaration of I ndependence. With the same object in view I now present another chapter of that neglected history, that which relates to the achievements of a most distinguished soldier of Pennsylvania, General Anthony Wayne.
