Excerpt from The Life of Samuel Tucker: Commodore in the American Revolution Of those heroic men who were distinguished in the American Revolution on land or sea, the far greater part have been depictured by able pens. Monuments have been erected, biographies have been written, and the elegant historian has adorned their memory with unfading wreaths. Thirty millions of a free and happy people felt their hearts burn with patriotism at the un rivalled success of the late eloquent Everett in redeeming, separating, and consecrating as a holy place of remem brance that beautiful spot on the banks of the Potomac, where the father OF his country lived and died. But there is one man, of no mean rank in the day of struggle, - a pioneer of our infant navy, -who took more prizes, fought more sea fights, and gained more victories, than, with a very few exceptions, any naval hero of the age, who lies in a humble, rustic cemetery, Where the place is but little known, with only a frail slab of slate to preserve his name, and whose exploits are almost forgotten amidst the splendor of our national prosperity which he helped to achieve.
