From the Book - First edition.
A tide in the affairs of men
The charming sound of bullets
This land I have made for you and not for others
A natural inclination to liberty
The city of New York will, in all human probability, very soon be the scene of a bloody conflict
I am your son! I am a warrior!
Numberless meteors gleaming through the atmosphere
Glowing with zeal for the general happiness and improvement of mankind
Which nothing else can equal.
