Summary: "The Writings of Thomas Paine — Volume 1 (1774-1779): The American Crisis" by Paine is a historical account compiled during the late 19th century. This collection encapsulates a series of significant essays that played a crucial role in the American Revolution, addressing various aspects of the war for independence. The main focus of this volume is the passionate call for courage and resilience among Americans facing British tyranny, emphasizing the importance of unity and steadfastness in the pursuit of freedom. The opening of this volume introduces readers to the first essay of "The American Crisis," marked by Paine's famous line, "These are the times that try men's souls." He reflects on the struggles faced by Washington's troops during the retreat across the Delaware and urges his fellow countrymen not to waver in the face of adversity.
