In 1822, Alexander Garden, an aide-de-camp of Major General Nathanael Greene, published a fascinating work titled Anecdotes of the Revolutionary War in America, With Sketches in Character.  Some of the stories contained in the volume are based on Garden’s own experiences, or were conveyed to him personally by veterans of the conflict.  Out of a great many fascinating and forgotten morsels, I have selected two for the reader’s enjoyment.
