| Summary | "The Old Bell of Independence; Or, Philadelphia in 1776" by Henry C. Watson is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work explores the events leading up to and including the American War of Independence, focusing particularly on Philadelphia's role in that defining period. Likely drawing on memoirs and historical anecdotes, the book details significant figures and events, with the bell serving as a central symbol of freedom and rallying point for the narratives of the patriots. The opening of this historical narrative introduces a momentous occasion in American history—General Lafayette's visit to Philadelphia in 1824, where he received a warm welcome from grateful citizens, including aging veterans of the Revolution. As Lafayette interacts with these veterans, they reminisce about their experiences during the war, particularly the ringing of the Liberty Bell, which signaled the Declaration of Independence. The narrative highlights the nostalgic importance of this event and sets the stage for more stories about the heroic actions of General Washington, and various gripping tales from the Revolutionary War, illustrating the deep-seated patriotism and sacrifice of individuals who helped shape American independence.
