Analysis of Intro to Chapter VI. Campaign of 1780
Joseph Plumb Martin 1760 (Becket, MA) – 1850 (Stockton Springs, ME)
The soldier defending his country's rights,
Is griev'd when that country his services slights;
But when he remonstrates and finds no relief,
No wonder his anger takes place of his grief.
