[Gutenberg 50493] • The Black Eagle; or, Ticonderoga

Excerpt from Ticonderoga; Or the Black Eagle, Vol. 1 of 3: A Tale of Times Not Long Past

And what has been the result? Even success has brought to me neither reward, nor honor, nor gratitude. On those who have neither so labored, nor so striven, whose oh jects have been less worthy, whose efforts have been less great, recompenses and distinctions have fallen thick and fast - a Government's patronage - a Sovereign's favor - a people's applause. And I am an exile on a distant shore unthought of, unrecompensed, unro membered.
