Deeply sympathising with the suffering colonies and fired with youthful enthusiasm in the cause of our independence he was with the foremost in serving to repel the encroachments of the British authority. He was one of the Fatigue party of 200 under Capt. Knowlton who aided in the erection of the fortifications around Bunker Hill. He frequently described with much enthusiasm amongst other things the dress of his Company. They wore small clothes, cowhide shoes, broad shoe buckles, long stockings, breeches buckling at the knees. Their waist coasts were of huge dimensions, a sort of loose frock and fasted with a tie by the corners in front; spun, wove, and made by their thrifty wives at home. The bark of the oak, butternut, and the berries of the sumach were the ingredients out of which they manufactured the dye stuff, etc. He was present when Washington arrived at Boston and was received as commander-in-chief. During the War he participated in seven hard-fought battles. Monmouth was one of the most intense. Bullets flew like hail around him and through his clothes, yet he escaped without a scratch. Son of Rufus Dodge and Mary Cately |
