Excerpt from The Bostonian Society Publications, Vol. 3Besides these men there are several British officers, both of the army and navy, who are interested specta tors of the scene. None of them attained any special prominence except young Lieut. Paul Mascarene. A Huguenot refugee, he had obtained a commission in the English army, hnd had been ordered to New England in 1709 to take part in the contemplated expedition. He was immediately appointed to command a company of mattrosses, or artillery, recruited at that time, and had spent a year in drilling them, having obtained permis sion to throw up a small earth-work at the foot of the Common for that purpose. He spent many years in Nova Scotia, the last part of the time as acting Gover nor and Commander-ih-chief, and before he died in 1760, was made Major General in the British army.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
