Excerpt from Incidents in American History: Being a Selection of the Most Important and Interesting Events Which Have Transpired Since the Discovery of America, to the Present Time

Authentic accounts of important events which have taken place in past ages, are of much utility; especially to the countries and people whose affairs are related. In a country like ours, it seems necessary to the existence of true and enlightened patriotism, that every person should possess some knowledge of the history of his own country. By the aid of history we can call up past scenes and events in review - we can see the effects they have had upon the nations before us, and from thence we can learn wisdom for the future. It is, in reality, interesting and instructive to every intelligent mind, to be transported back to the time of the first settlement of our country, to observe the courage, fortitude, and self-denial of our forefathers, amidst many surrounding dangers, difficulties, and privations, - their unconquerable love of freedom, - the resistance they manifested to tyranny in all its shapes, - and the final success of their efforts to preserve the freedom and independence of their country entire.

This work is not designed for the information of those who are conversant with the history of our country in all its parts; (this class of community is comparatively small;) but for those who cannot spare the time or expense of reading or procuring a full and complete history. The object of the work is to give an account, in a short but comprehensive manner, of the most important and interesting events which have taken place in our country, nearly all of which are arranged in chronological order. Those events which are deemed of minor importance, are inserted in the Chronological Tables, at the end of the book, as every event which is mentioned could not be detailed, without swelling the book to an expensive size.
