Synopsis
Excerpt from Life of Benjamin F. Butler
Now it is Leonidas, at the pass of Thermopylae, holding back the myriad hosts of Persia, through the patriotic cour age of three hundred men, who recognize him as the em bodied hope of Spartan liberty. Again it is Tell, defying the arrogance of Gessler, in the name of the freedom-loving sons of Switzerland. Anon it is Cromwell, leading the Puritan armies to the overthrow of the Stuart dynasty in the name of justice and religion. Then it is Washington, marshalling the patriot hosts of America against the hired minions of George the Third. These men were the chosen executors of the will of God, the instruments by Which he delivered his people from bondage.
