The American Crisis was widely read and helped to inspire and motivate the Continental Army during the difficult years of the war. Today, it is considered a classic of American literature and a testament to the enduring spirit of the American people.THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
