Preface.
...The author believes that this interesting and important history concerning the life, character and services of Capt. Jonathan Walker, with which the public hitherto has been unacquainted but which is here given in authentic form, will prove to be a valuable and permanent contribution to anti-slavery literature, and that it also fully explains and interprets Whittier's famous and soul-stirring poem, "The Branded Hand." Capt. Walker belonged to a noble and heroic band of reformers who have now passed away, and it is fitting that the more prominent figures should be here grouped together as a forcible reminder of the truth, that high moral ideals and undying loyalty to principle are the only permanently abiding forces which give to humanity its crownings charm.
...The younger generations, especially, should be made familiar with the causes and events which led up to the Civil War and culminated in President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. The future historian will take into the account the important services rendered to the sacred cause of liberty by Capt. Jonathan Walker and his noble band of compatriots.
F. E. K.
