Excerpt from Rosbrugh, a Tale of the Revolution: Or Life, Labors and Death of Rev. John Rosbrugh
The records of many of his compatriots have long since been written, but these have been largely devoted to the perpetuation in memory of the courage and prowess through which these warriors were enabled to march to glory or death in the face of a foreign fee. This man's record is unique in that whilst he was a noncombatant, he met, we may perhaps truly say, the most cruel death of them all, in his efforts to subserve with them the great cause of American freedom.
We are then to trace the life and character of the man, not so much in the light of the soldier, as in the light of the patriotic and devoted citizen and minister of the gospel who shared the lot and died the death of the Revolutionary soldier. We are to make a record of the man's life and character as reflected by the motives which impelled, and the circumstances which surrounded him, in his career. It is to this task we now address ourself.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and death of a forgotten hero of the American Revolution, a Presbyterian minister named John Rosbrugh. The author meticulously traces Rosbrugh's journey from his birth in Ireland to his arrival in America, his education and ordination, and his subsequent ministries in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The text explores the challenges and triumphs of his life as a pastor during a time of profound social and political upheaval. More than just a biographical portrait, the book examines the intersection of religion, politics, and personal sacrifice during the early years of American independence. It vividly captures the spirit of the times, showing how the ideals of religious freedom and civil liberty inspired Rosbrugh to abandon his ministry and join the Continental Army. The account of his service and his ultimate, tragic death in the Battle of Assunpink provides a powerful testament to the profound impact of the Revolution on ordinary lives, showcasing the courage and conviction that propelled individuals to fight for their beliefs. This book offers a compelling glimpse into the lives and sacrifices of those who fought to establish a new nation founded on the principles of freedom and justice.
