“Trusting in God, to stand up in our own defense.”

October 11, 2013 by emcoop Leave a Comment

About a month before the battle in Menotomy Village, Massachusetts in 1775, the Reverend Samuel Cooke preached a sermon to the Minutemen of that small town. Many excerpts from that sermon, taken from the minister’s hand written notes and transcribed by Samuel Abbot Smith in West Cambridge 1775  (published by the Arlington Historical Society) are quoted in Fields of the Fatherless.

 

My friend and fellow author, Tammy Doherty, took one of those quotes from Reverend Cooke and produced this memorable photo.
