Synopsis
Excerpt from The Narrative of John Blatchford: Detailing His Sufferings in the Revolutionary War, While a Prisoner With the British, as Related by Himself
In his stature, our hero was about medium height. He had broad shoulders, full chest, and well-proportioned limbs. His complexion was sallow, his eyes dark, and his hair black and curly. He was temperate in his habits, dignified in his deportment, and though possessed of great muscular power and most undaunted courage, he was, nevertheless, peaceful in his disposition and slow to anger.
The narrative of his adventures while a prisoner, was undoubtedly prepared from dictation. It is an interesting, romantic, and in many respects, an extraordinary docu ment. It is remarkable for the series of misfortunes which befell its hero, and as a record of malignant Spite and savage brutality on the part of the British, is almost unparalleled in the annals Of history.
