From the Preface by James Phinney Baxter, Mackworth Island, August 30, 1910: “The publication of the documents in this volume gives and idea of the important part sustained by the people of Maine in the War of the Revolution, and of the sacrifices made by them in what must have appeared to the world as an almost hopeless struggle. It also places in enduring form the names of men worthy of remembrance. I hope to be able to complete the publication of documents relating to the Revolutionary period within the next two years.”.
