Bill Fuller:
[reading the letter from the old boot]
Gentlemen: We are facing a time of peril so grave in our brief National history, that there is now only the choice of serving the country a little longer, or having the country no longer to serve. Under the favor of Almighty God, we have become a Nation. Let me say to you that I hate war. But we remain one Nation, one People, that time is not distant when we may choose war o'er peace... In the words of Thom Paine, 'THESE are the times that try men's souls. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness alone that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.' George Washington November 10, 1777
