There are not many people who would recognize in the name Samuel Wheeler
a person who did valuable service for our country in the war of the
Revolution. It was he who made the famous chain that was stretched
across the Hudson River to stop the British war-ships from ascending the
stream. At the time General Washington was puzzled about defending the
river.
"I wish I could get a chain made; but that is impossible," he said; and
General Mifflin, overhearing the remark, exclaimed:
"Not so. We have a man in the army, a townsman of mine, one Wheeler, who
can make you such a chain."
General Washington had Wheeler brought to him, and said:
"I want a chain to put across the North River to stop the British ships.
Can you make it?"
"I can," replied Wheeler, "but I cannot do it here."
"Then," said Washington, "I will cheerfully give you dismission from the
army to do so, for badly as we want such men as you, I cannot afford to
keep you."
