Scope and Contents

Notes on card and facsimile copy stating "This song, by Peter St. John of Norwalk, Connecticut, antedates the [beginning of?] revolution.  In 1779, the author revised it to produce a coherent and connected history of the struggle...at least 5 different versions survive in broadside form."  This is from The Diary of the American Revolution, compiled by Frank Moore, abridged, edited and with an introduction by John Anthony Scott.  Published by New York Washington Square Press, 1967.  There are two original copies, one with handwritten numbers alongside the verses.
