Book Description
Excerpt from Lieutenant-General Sir William Pepperrell, Bart: Address, Delivered Before the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society; April, 1887 The lustre of the great names of the men who carried the colonists successfully through the Revolutionary war, and who framed the Constitution under which this country has prospered for almost a century, has obscured that of those under whose guidance and leadership it became possible for our people successfully to conduct their long war against the mother country. The fame of the early colonists, of the Pilgrims who sailed in the Mayflower, of the Cavaliers who landed at Jamestown, has been celebrated in history and in poetry, but comparatively little attention has been paid to the period intermediate between the settlement of North America and the Declaration of Independence. One of the most distinguished of the men who at that time directed the affairs of the colonies is the subject of this address. He was a typical American; typical of a time when the exigencies of life were such that a man of talent could not limit himself or his intelligence to one particular occupation, but when the necessities of the situation in which our fathers were placed, compelled him in his time to play many parts, which in a later and more complex civilization would be filled by different individuals. William Pepperrell commenced life as a merchant, and a merchant he continued for thirty years. Yet during that time he became Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas in Maine. Not only this, but as general of the colonial forces, he conducted the most successful and brilliant campaign in which the colonists were unaided by troops from the mother country. It is not easy for us to realize the conditions of society that existed along our seaboard prior to the Declaration of Independence. The colonists had, it is true, left their homes across the Atlantic, some of them for purposes of commerce, some of them with the eagerness for discovery which at that time pervaded all Europe, and some of them to find in the new world the religious freedom which had been denied them in the old. But all alike were loyal to the mother country and its sovereign. All alike respected the aristocratic institutions under which that country had prospered, and the thought of abolishing those distinctions which formed a part of their whole surroundings was far from the mind of any of them.
