He inspired them with noble sentiments and received the promise of the most absolute devotedness. They had to work in the bitter cold weather--severe frost having suddenly set in--all night and during the next day, in the water, in the midst of floating ice, probably under fire of the enemy, without rest, almost without time to swallow some boiled meat; they had not even bread or salt or brandy. This was the price at which the army could be saved. Each and every one of the pontooneers pledged himself to their general, and we shall see how they kept their word.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
