MEMOIR OF JOHN MULLETT.6
Many of the advocates of the war took the field with the legend, "Liberty or death, " inscribed on their hats. John Mullett used to describe, with much gusto, the conduct of these brave sons of Mars, when attacked by the invading army. At the first volley, they incontinently fled toward their homes in the Genesee country, and as they ran pell mell through the woods, it was amusing to see the valorous heroes scrambling over logs and pushing through the underbrush, with the legend always blazing in front: " Liberty or death!"
