Originally published over one hundred years ago by young newspaper
editor William Elbridge Cowles of Minnesota's Saint Peter Journal,
THE STORY OF REDMANSHIP and the Sons of Liberty offers today's
readers amazing glimpses into the Revolutionary history of
America's British Colonies while describing "The Patriotic Origin
and Beautiful Teachings of the Improved Order of Red Men." Who were
these Sons (and Daughters) of Liberty who secretly met in Boston's
Green Dragon tavern? "Bound together in defense of Equality before
the law," they disguised themselves as Mohawks to carry out the
destruction of tea at Boston Harbor, and to ultimately overthrow
tyrannical British rule, singing: Rally Mohawks Bring out your
axes, And tell King George we'll pay no taxes On his foreign tea;
His threats are vain and vain to think To force our girls and wives
to drink His vile Bohea Then rally boys and hasten on To meet our
chiefs at the Green Dragon. Our Warren's there, and bold Revere,
With hands to do and words to cheer, For Liberty and Laws; Our
country's "braves" and firm defenders Shall ne'er be left by true
North-Enders Fighting Freedom's cause Then rally boys and hasten on
To meet our chiefs at the Green Dragon Lavishly illustrated in
color throughout, with historic images of people and events of the
period.
