The Real Story of the American Revolution 

Anecdotes, Stories, and Tales

Anecdotes, stories, and tales usually contain elements of truth,
but they were often created with fictional material to add dramatic effects
and to highlight the moral of the story in an entertaining manner.
So enjoy them, but do not treat them as factual.

[Anecdotes of] The American Revolution (Derby and Jackson, New York NY, 1859) is a collection of over 150 brief glimpses of the people and events of the Revolution. Campfires of the Revolution, by Henry C. Watson (Lindsay and Blakiston, Philadelphia, 1857) presents 19 dramatized views of the major battles of the Revolution as experienced by the foot-soldiers and re-told to their companions around campfires during the later years of the war.
