From the original preface:
"No event excites more interest among Americans than the destruction of the tea in Boston Harbor. Then and there the unconquerable resolution of freemen was first made apparent to the obstinate oppressors of our infant country. Yet, until of late years, the history of the affair was very imperfectly known, and the names of men who participated in it are scarcely mentioned . In these pages will be found a faithful account of this daring exploit ; and, in connection with the other narratives, it is hoped it will kindle in the breasts of young readers an enthusiasm for liberty. The anecdotes of personal daring, the descriptions of men and of places, the fragments of history and the accounts of campaigns which follow the story of the “ Tea -Party ,” cannot fail to interest and instruct youthful readers, and must awaken a desire to learn more of the events which shaped the growth of our nation."
