Excerpt from Memoirs of the Generals, Commodores, and Other Commanders: Who Distinguished Themselves in the American Army and Navy During the Wars of the Revolution and 1812, and Who Were Presented With Medals by Congress, for Their Gallant Services Americans, proud of the achievements of their country men, who in the field of honor have fought with superior valor for the independence or glory of their native land, will look with complacency on the decisive stamp of nationality which a work of this kind necessarily possesses, while it is equally true, that the world will find, in the circumstances of the age, or period of the gallant deeds when liberty was so nobly asserted, and when the invincibility of the proud mis tress of the seas was so successfully contested, a bright page of history on which our national pride may justly dwell. Here, as in Old Rome, where the public honors are open to the virtue of every citizen, the lives of those heroes who have been distinguished by their country's highest rewards.
