Memoir and Letters of Captain W (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Memoir and Letters of Captain W. Glanville Evelyn, of the 4th Regiment (King's Own) From North America, 1774-1776About two years ago, an inquiry was started to ascertain the place of burial of the writer of these letters in New York. Nothing definite could be ascertained beyond the fact, that an English officer was interred during the month of October, 1776, in the ground of the Lutheran church on Broadway. For their zealous and able assistance in this inquiry, the thanks of both Mr. Evelyn and myself are particularly due to Mr. T. Baily Myers, of New York, to Mr. William Kelby, assistant librarian to the New York Historical Society.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
