Master Bartlett was yet alive when, on leaving the army, I went to
Tioga to see Esther Hinchman, who had the same as promised to be my
wife, and there I met him. Then it was he said to me that which I
shall ever remember, and with which it seems fitting I should close my
work on this tale of our doings.
“But for the Minute Boys of Wyoming Valley, Jonathan Ogden,” he said to
me as Esther and I sat by his side, “very much more blood would have
been shed by those human wolves John Butler let loose upon us, and that
act of my life in which I take the most pride is the share I had in
what was done by your company around Wilkesbarre and Forty Fort.”
THE END.
