Excerpt from The Camp on the Neshaminy: An Address Delivered Before the Pennsylvania Society of Sons of the Revolution at Washington's Headquarters on the Little Neshaminy, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, June 20, 1903 Our presence to-day, in this place, where they spread their tents, makes us mindful of what they were; of the stern stuff out of which they were made; of the high aims that actuated them; of their patriotism, of which their conduct furnished the highest example; of what they were willing to suffer to uphold the principle of human liberty, which was dearer to them than their lives; of what they were willing to sacrifice to maintain for themselves and their posterity that freedom of thought and action, those fundamental principles of self-government which they had inherited from the early pioneers who crossed the seas, a century before, to escape oppression. We are t always mindful of these things. It is well for us to recall them here. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
