Présentation de l'éditeur

Sir, The following pages contain a plain and unadorned narrative of the principal military actions in which Col. Willett was engaged during the French and Revolutionary wars :together with an account of his Mission to the Creek I ndians. The whole narrative is little more than a transcript of what he himself wrote, after he had attained his seventieth year. In it, will be found a few incidents of an interesting nature, connected with our Revolutionary war, which heretofore have been but slighdy, if at all, touched by the pen of the traveller or the historian :while the circumstances that these pages contain the otherwise perishing memorials of one of our oldest Revoludonary Soldiers, will, it is hoped, imparl to them a peculiar interest.
