Excerpt from The Life of Artemas Ward: The First Commander-in-Chief, of the American Revolution

I have not been alone in my uneasy conviction that Artemas Ward's memory has been unjustly neglected. Others, though lacking the impulse Of relationship, have felt that in the history of the founding Of the United States there is a blank that should be filled with the story Of his life. Even so long as eighty-one years ago, Emory Wash burn expressed a hope that some one would yet prepare a biography of General Ward that would do justice to the memory of one Of the earliest and bravest Of the patriots of the Revolution.

If a commonplace biography would have contented me, it could have been produced very easily by interweaving some of the original material in the Artemas Ward Manuscripts with a conventional account Of the American Revolution and the establishment Of the United States, but I had no desire to write or publish such a biography.
