 The Rev. Janics Caldwell, New Jersey's Patriot Martyr of the Kevolution- 
 A Brief Account of Mis Life and Work Abstracted from the I'ro- 
 ceedings of the New Jersey Historical Society, 184S (^

 Janic's t'aldwi-ll was Imrii 111 C li.irlniii- 
 Oiuiity. \'ir({inia. April 17. 1734. aixl Kradiiatrd 
 imm F'riiici-ti>n GilltKi" '" 17.S9. Hi- was 
 onlaincil pastor of llic l-'irsl I'rt'sbvtcrian 
 t'liiircli at Klizahcth in 1762. Mv siTvod as 
 chaplain in the Anicrican Army of the Kcvo- 
 liitioTi an<l acted as cominissary t<> the troops 
 in New Jersey. He married Hannah, the 
 ilaimhter i>f Jonathan O^den. She was killed 
 hy a shot from a Hrilish soldier June 2.\ 178(). 
 They left nine children. One nf the sons was 
 taken care of hy Lafayette. He was educated 
 \inder the direction of the Marchioness Lafay- 
 ette in Krance ami afterwards returned to 
 .\mcrica. .Vnother son hecame County Judse 
 of Gloucester County, while another was for 
 many years clerk of the !^upre^u• Court of 
 the Cnited States. 
 
 James Caldwell was of medium heisJit. 
 powerfully made and capalile of ^reat endur- 
 ance. His countenance in repose had a 
 tranquil and somewhat pensive expression, hut 
 when aroused with heroic daring there was 
 stamped on every lineament the most daunt- 
 less, unconquerahle resolution. His voice was 
 low and sweet and musical, hut when he stood 
 in front of a regiment of soldiers, talking to 
 them, his voice rose clear and distinct above 
 the sound of the drum and t"ife. In his con- 
 irregation at KlizalK-th were some of the most 
 prominent families in New Jersey. .Among 
 them we find the names of Roudinet, Living- 
 ston. HarlKT. Dayton and Ogden. He had in 
 his congregation thirty-nine commissioned offi- 
 cers of the .Vmcrican .\rmy. 
 
 .\l the tieginning of the War of the Revolu- 
 tion, the State of New Jersey offered a hrigade 
 of soldiers for common defence. Colonel 
 Elmer gives the account of the Declaration 
 of Inde|H-ndence. "The courier l>caring the 
 news at the headijuarlcrs arrived July l.>, 1776 
 .\t twelve o'cli>ck the a*semlily wa.s l>eat that 
 the men might parade in order to receive a 
 treat ami drink to the State's health. \\ hen. 
 having made a l>arrel of grog, the Declaration 
 was received and the following toast was given 
 
 l.> I'arson Caldwell: 'Harmony, honor and 
 prosperity to the trie and independent Cnited 
 .Slates of .Xmerica; wise legislators, brave ami 
 victorious armies, both at sea and land, to the 
 Cnited States of .America." " 
 
 James Caldwell did not confine his activity 
 and energy to his duties in the army. On Sun- 
 day he was to be found with his parish, and 
 the ne.xt day in the army. His immense |B)pu- 
 larity gave him great influence. These were 
 times of great hardships to the people of New 
 Jersey. Washington had retreated through the 
 State pursued by Cornwallis. and the people 
 were paralyzed with terror. Towns were 
 destroyed, non-combatants were murdered, and 
 the comniiniity hereabouts was in a state of 
 destitution and almost despair. Those people 
 couhl well underslaml the |iresent condition of 
 the Helgians. 
 
 James Caldwell did not share the general 
 despondency. His tireless efforts and perse- 
 vering activity in these dark days marked him 
 as a great, fearless, intrepid leader, whose 
 ailvice was sought and whose judgment in 
 the crisis was taken, anil we are told that the 
 aid he furnished to the army in keeping it 
 advised of every step of the invaders was of 
 incalculable service. His devotion to his 
 country was such that his own life, safety and 
 personal interests were entirely forgotten. His 
 church building was given for use as a hospital 
 for the soldiers and it seems to have been 
 used as a lieadcpiarters. When the enemy 
 approached, the Ih-11 of the church was rung 
 ]o warn the in-ople. The church was finally 
 liurned in January, 178(). 
 
 Connecticut l-'arms. where James Caldwell 
 then lived, was destroyed by fire by the 
 Mritish. and Mrs. Caldwell was killed. The 
 Itritish army then proceeded to Springfield, 
 where a sharp engagement tiMik place, and 
 while the enemy beat a hasty retreat it was 
 not till they had burned the village. Mr. 
 Caldwell was in the thickest of the fight, and 
 seeing the men of his artny slacking fi>r want 
 of gim wadding, he galloped to the church at 
 
225th Anniversary of Settlement of Caldwell 
 
 Springfield near liy and carried to the soldiers 
 the liymn books, and shouted : "Now put 
 Watts into them, boys !" which the soldiers 
 did, with the result that the American arms 
 were victorious. After his church in Elizabeth 
 w-as burned Mr. Caldwell continued to hold 
 his religious services in the red store. 
 
 It was well known that he was at all times 
 in danger of death, the enemy having deter- 
 mined to take his life, but he continued un- 
 daunted and persistently to pursue what he 
 considered his duty. When he preached, he 
 
 first placed his pistols on the improvised pulpit 
 and a sentinel was usually kept watching at 
 the door. He was killed with a shot from a 
 sentinel at Elizabeth on November 24, 1781. 
 James Caldwell frequently preached at the old 
 church at Horse Neck (which we now call 
 Caldwell), then located on the site of the 
 present Presbyterian Church. He was beloved 
 by all who knew him, and the town of Cald- 
 well bears his name as a token of the reverence 
 and love of those who lived in those trying 
 colonial days. 
 
 Inscription on the Monument to the Memory of James Caldwell, Erected 
 
 Over His Remains in the Graveyard of the First Presbyterian 
 
 Church of Elizabethtown, New Jersey 
 
 On the East side — 
 
 "This Monument is erected to the memory 
 of the Rev. J.\mes Caldwell, the pious and 
 fervent Christian, the zealotis and faithful 
 Minister, the eloquent Preacher, and a promi- 
 nent leader among the worthies who secured 
 the independence of his country. His name 
 will be cherished in the Church and in the 
 State so long as virtue is esteemed or patriot- 
 ism honored." 
 
 On the South side — 
 
 "James Caldwell, born in Charlotte Co., 
 Va., April, 1734: Graduated at Princeton 
 College, 1759; Ordained Pastor of the First 
 Presbyterian Church at Elizabethtown, 1762. 
 After serving as Chaplain in the Army of the 
 Revolution, and acting as Commissary to the 
 
 Troops in New Jersey, he was killed by a shot 
 from a sentinel at Elizabethtown Point, Nov. 
 24th, 1781." 
 On the West side — 
 
 "Hannah, wife of Rev. James Caldwell, 
 and daughter of John Ogden, of Newark, was 
 killed at Connecticut Farms by a shot from a 
 British soldier, Jan. 25th, 1780. Cruellj' 
 sacrificed by the enemies of her husband and 
 her country." 
 On the North side — 
 
 "The memory of the Just is blessed." 
 
 "Be of good courage, and let us behave 
 ourselves valiantly for our people, and for 
 the cities of our God, and let the Lord do 
 that which is good in his sight." 
 "The glory of Children are their Fathers." 
 
 Caldwell of Springfield 
 
 By Bret Harte 
 
 Here's the spot. Look around you. Above, on the 
 
 height. 
 Lay the Hessians encamped. By that church on the right 
 Stood the gaunt Jersey farmers. And here ran a wall — 
 You may dig anywhere and you'll turn up a ball. 
 Nothing more. Grasses spring, waters run. flowers blow. 
 Pretty much as they did ninety-three years ago. 
 
 Nothing more, did I say? Stay, one moment; you've 
 
 heard 
 Of Caldwell, the parson, who once preached the "^'ord 
 Down at Springfield? What! no? Come, that's bad; 
 
 why he had 
 All the Jerseys aflame! and they gave him the name 
 Of "the rebel high priest." He stuck in their gorge. 
 For he loved the Lord God, and he hated King George! 
 
 Did he preach — did he pray? Think of him, as you 
 
 stand 
 By the old church, to-day; think of him. and that band 
 
 Of militant plowboys! See the smoke and the heat 
 Of that reckless advance — of that straggling retreat! 
 Keep the ghost of that wife, foully slain, in your view — 
 And what could you, what should you. what would 
 you do? 
 
 Why. just what he did! They were left in the lurch 
 For the want of more wadding. He ran to the church. 
 Broke the door, stripped the pews, and dashed out in 
 
 the road 
 With his arms full of hymn-books, and threw down his 
 
 load 
 At their feet! Then, above all the shouting and shots. 
 Rang his voice — "Put Watts into 'em. bovs! give "em 
 
 Watts!" 
 
 And they did. That is all. Grasses spring, flowers blow. 
 Pretty much as they did ninety-three years ago. 
 You may dig anywhere and turn up a ball. 
 But not always a hero like this — and that's all.

 "The Purchase of the Land." 
 
 Captahem's Deed of 1672. 
 
 .\ii Iiulian villano is ri-|)rescnlecl. The 
 inhaliitants iiitont upon tlicir usual tasks. 
 The woiiion KriniliiiK nu-al. the children at 
 play with miniature implements or bead- 
 work. 
 
 Their i|uiet is interrupted by the arrival 
 of a band of warriors. These young men 
 motion the others li> the sides and com- 
 mence an Indian dance to the weird music 
 of their instruments. The women beat 
 time anil chant softly. Before the dance 
 has terminated four chiefs arrive and sig- 
 nal that they have news of importance. 
 They demand that a space be cleared and 
 that their stale blankets and head dresses 
 be brought them. This done, all seat them- 
 selves. .\n Indian runner dashes in. 
 
 Indian Runner: "The white men come, 
 () chief, bearing gifts." While he is still 
 pointing and telling his story the settlers 
 arrive. The chiefs rise, and the young war- 
 riors. They receive the whites with dig- 
 nity and ceremony. 
 
 Captahem: "Welcome, white men." 
 
 Hans Diederick: "Welcome, O chief." 
 
 .■\fter the exchange of greetings the 
 Dutch men produce a paper. The chiefs 
 make signs of approval. 
 
 Walling Jacobs: ".\re they friendly, think 
 yon V 
 
 Grant Garrison: "Tndy they appear so; 
 bul as I told my mistress, we take our lives 
 in our hands." 
 
 Hendrick George: "The Governor hath 
 >pi>keii ■■! iluin as friendly savages." (He 
 takes out paper.) 
 
 ( .\ medicine man springs forward from 
 the group of Indians. He raises his hand 
 in pri'test.) 
 
 Medicine Man: "Hear me, O chief." 
 
 Captahem: "Speak!" 
 
 Medicine Man: "Have a thought, Capta- 
 hem. Ml thy pride, of thy people's future." 
 
 Captahem: "Peace. The (ireat Spirit 
 
 guidi-ih me. and these white men perhaps 
 
 I Ily barter. (Tn his people.) 1 
 
 thee do honor to these white 
 
 Medicine Man: "Why for. O chief, must 
 thy knir :iMd C'.nv be bent?" 
 Young Chief: "He spraks wisdom ' 
 
 Captahem (angrily): "Little wisdom, O 
 foolish ones. (To the Medicine Man.) 
 Has the while man not a magic that sur- 
 passes thine? Is he not beloved of the 
 (Ireat Spirit? From his land springs 
 strange fruit and he kills as he is wont. 
 Cease, then, and teach thy tongue wisdom." 
 
 Medicine Man (raising his arms and ad- 
 dressing his people): "Look, O my peo|)le, 
 at these hills. Here dwells our Great Spirit. 
 Here have our people hunted and I'easted 
 in peace and war. .\nd now here comes 
 the stranger — the white man, with craft 
 and wampum — to buy of us our inlierit- 
 ance. Vea, the white man asks much, asks 
 of us our hunting grounds — our game lands; 
 yea, even the burial places of our ances- 
 tors. (To Captahem.) .\nd you. () Cap- 
 tahem, barter that which no man sells." 
 
 (The Indians mutter and nod their ap- 
 proval of his words.) 
 
 Captahem: "Peace — am I chief? or am I 
 the least of the hunters? Cease to bewitch 
 my people with weak words and do lumor 
 to these strangers." 
 
 (The Indians draw back.) 
 
 Young Chief: "Speak for us, O Capta- 
 hem. I liy will must be our will." 
 
 Medicine Man: "So be it." (He turns 
 from the people, anrl speaks to the hills.) 
 "( ) my hills — my land — farewell. May you 
 under these strangers always know peace — 
 may the Great Spirit ever brood over thee. 
 .\nd forget that Captahem — great chief of 
 little heart — sold thee for wampum and rai- 
 ment." (He covers his head with his 
 blanket and disappears in the crowd.) 
 
 Hans Diederick: " 'Tis a pow wow in 
 faith, but the cliief is bent upon our bar- 
 ter." 
 
 Jacobs: "Be not rash; they be but sav- 
 ages, offer little." 
 
 Captahem: 'Speak, white men." 
 
 Hans Diederick: "We ofifer thee for this 
 land, chief, under lawful agreement as sub- 
 jects of (Jueen .\nne, twelve fathoms of 
 trading cloth, two kettles, and this fair 
 scarlet coat." 
 
 Jacobs: ".Vnd these gaudy beads." 
 
 Captahem: "'Tis scant trade." 
 
 Diederick: "Patience. .\nd further, wc 
 otter, upon our entry on said lands, two 
 htindred fathoms of black wampum and 
 line himdred " 
 
 Garrison: "He not rash, Diederick." 
 
 Diederick (firmly): "( Inc humlred fath- 
 tn- ot while wampum."

 Captahem: "We agree, white men, we 
 agree, my people." 
 
 Diederick: " 'Tis well. Come, measure 
 out their due." 
 
 (The debt is paid. The scarlet coat ex- 
 amined by the Indians, the weaving meas- 
 ured off, the kettles handed over. The In- 
 dians watch intently. Captahem seemingly 
 indifferent.) 
 
 Hendrick George: "We have made a fair 
 bargain. Bid him make his mark." 
 
 Diederick (producing document with 
 great seal attached) : "Sign, O chief, and 
 we, too, will sign, and our Governor Car- 
 teret will confirm." 
 
 Captahem (taking quill): "'Tis goodly 
 land, white men." 
 
 Jacobs: "Make thy mark here, chief." 
 
 Captahem (making a mark upon the place 
 indicated) : " 'Tis done here, white men." 
 (He pushes away the paper and steps back.) 
 
 Diederick (motioning his men together) : 
 "-\.nd now farewell. Captahem. May our 
 trade please thee as well as it will our- 
 selves." 
 
 Captahem: "Stay, white men. Smoke 
 with us the pipe of peace, that thy land 
 which was our land may prosper." 
 
 Jacobs: "Come, have done with these sav- 
 ages." 
 
 Diederick: "Nay, 'tis best to agree. What 
 harm comes from the poor heathen cus- 
 tom. Sit ye down, men." 
 
 (They and the chief sit. The pipe of 
 peace is lit and passed. Each man puffs 
 twice. .\t a signal from Diederick the 
 whites rise and the Red men, also.) 
 
 Diederick: "Farewell. O chief. Peace be 
 with thy people." 
 
 Captahem: ".\nd with thine, white men." 
 
 (A runner steps forth to guide the Dutch. 
 They depart. The Indians start to gather 
 up their spoil. Captahem stops them and 
 stands over his barter for a moment, then 
 he turns to the hills.) 
 
 Captahem (raising a hand): "Have I done 
 well, Great Spirit?" 
 
 Note. — The deed given by Captaliem to these four 
 shrewd Dutchmen was clearly defined in its bound- 
 aries, to wit: "... a straight line drawn from 
 the mouth of Pine Brook a little to the north of 
 Cedar Grove, extending to the village of Acquacko- 
 nouck." From this deed the very earliest settlers 
 derived their titles. 
 
 Act I— Scene II. 
 "The Departure of the Indians." 
 
 1740. 
 
 The Delawares Join the Six Nations at 
 Seneca Lake. 
 
 Settlers in early Dutch costume assem- 
 ble at right stage. They are of all ages — 
 
 men, wornen and children — all gaily dressed 
 and wearing the wooden shoes, made at that 
 time at Horseneck, as the land was then 
 called. (See History of Essex.) The com- 
 pany are evidently awaiting an event, and 
 in the meantime the men smoke their long 
 pipes, the women knit and gossip. A very 
 old grandfather, leaning on a stove, dis- 
 courses to the others. Presently he points, 
 and a band of Indians are seen approach- 
 ing. They come to bid farewell, for their 
 tribe is to depart for the shore of Seneca 
 Lake. They bear gifts of baskets, game 
 and flowers for the friendly whites. A cere- 
 mony ensues of presentation, and at its 
 conclusion the Indians offer the Dutch a 
 small boy of seven or eight as their part- 
 ing proof of trust and affection. This child 
 — afterward to be celebrated as "Indian 
 John" in history, is at first declined, but 
 the Indians prevail. The little fellow, 
 frightened, cries, and is consoled by the 
 kindly Dutch good wives. The Indians de- 
 part. Farewells are waved. Indian John is 
 raised to the shoulders of one of the Dutch 
 men. The scene concludes with the Dutch 
 children dancing in a circle about their new 
 playmate. 
 
 Act I— Scene III. 
 "The Horseneck Riots." 
 
 1749. 
 
 The Land Disputes Resulting from Indian 
 Deeds 
 
 .A. crowd of citizens are discovered ex- 
 citedly disputing the claims of the Newark 
 citizens to their land. The Horseneck set- 
 tlers display papers and argue with one an- 
 other. They indicate that the log cabin 
 to right of stage is a matter of legal inter- 
 est. Its owner is especially indignant. 
 They are interrupted by the arrival of a 
 messenger on liorseback froin Newark, evi- 
 dently a deputy. His self-important man- 
 ner and his formidable pistols enrage the 
 settlers. He produces a paper, but "before 
 it is read he is set upon by the crowd. They 
 almost succeed in dragging hiin from his 
 horse when reinforcements in the form of 
 other armed deputies arrive. These drive 
 back the unarmed Horseneck men, who re- 
 tire off stage in confusion. The deputies 
 then pillage the log cabin, driving forth a 
 woman and a child and pitching contents 
 from the windows. Finally they nail a 
 paper to the door and are departing when 
 the Horseneck men reappear. This time 
 the settlers are armed with cudgels, pis- 
 tols and staves. A fight ensues — the depu- 
 ties escape. Then the Horseneck citizens, 
 led by Thomas Gould, flag in hand, decide 
 to follow and to raid the Newark jail and 
 to liberate their comrades imprisoned for 
 disobeying tlie order to vacate land and

 farms. Have courage, lads: we are just 
 men and demand our rights." (.The others 
 appl.iiid atid wave their staves, etc.) 
 
 Thomas Gould: "To Newark jail! We 
 will prove that Horseneck niefi can defeijd 
 their rights! After itie. men!" 
 
 Act II — Scene I. 
 
 "Fairfield Village." 
 
 Washington's Visit to the Old Stone Fort. 
 
 The village has now grown and is fairly 
 established, known as Fairfield. It nuni- 
 liers among its citizens many names with 
 which we are to-day fatniliar. 
 
 The scene opens with the departure of 
 a traveller fnmi the tavern, old Stone Fort, 
 as it was called. The tavern keeper speeds 
 his guest, a foot farer, counts his money, 
 cuffs the post boy and enters the inn. The 
 bar maid appears at the tavern door wiping 
 a mug — she jests with the post boy and 
 ilisappears. The boy yawns and stretches 
 himself to sleep on the long bench beside 
 the door. .\ group of chililren enter, pick- 
 ing flowers, and tossing a ball. They re- 
 main at right stage, the inn is at the left. 
 .\ traveller on horseback is seen approach- 
 ing. The curious children gather together 
 and stare. He rides directly to the inn d>ior 
 and raps stnarlly with his whip. The boy 
 tumbles to his feet and springs to the 
 horse's head. Samlers appears at the do<ir 
 and is evidently astounded. His visitor is 
 tien. Washington. The post boy grasps 
 the bridle flunK him and Washington dis- 
 tni'tinls. 
 
 Washington: "I hear you keep good ale. 
 M.isier ."s.iutiders — as good as your musket. 
 
 your good wife, 
 
 )be- 
 lives 
 
 say you? Hut I atn coniitit with ciiler lure 
 imder your apple tree." 
 
 Saunders (beaming): "(ien. Washington 
 yi'ur sirvanl, sir. Goody — where is the 
 wench — a chair under the apple tree for 
 (ien. Washington." 
 
 (Goody, the bar maid, places a chair im- 
 der the apple tree for (ien. Washington 
 and retires inside the inn. The landlrird 
 appears with a mug of cider. His wife 
 follows, a comely womati. with two chil- 
 dren clinging to her skirts. He places it 
 reverently l)efore his visitor and stands, 
 s(d(lier-fasliion. at his elbow. Washington 
 calls one of the childreti to him and strokes 
 the little one's hair. The others gather 
 abr>Ut.) 
 
 Washington: "This is 
 .M.istir Saunders?" 
 
 Mistress Saunders (making her 
 diance): ""lis a visit to remember our 
 long, ICxcellency !" 
 
 (Washington speaks with her.) 
 
 Citizens apprriach at right stage — one, 
 two, and three. The children greet them 
 and point to the visitor. The citizens, 
 astonished and delighted, sumtnon others. 
 The crowd grows. Washington is sur- 
 rounded. They cheer and request a speech. 
 He good-naturedly consents, and with his 
 hand upon the head of a child addresses 
 the assembled men. women and children. 
 They applaud wildly. .\ boy turns hand- 
 springs. Suddenly some one notices that 
 Citizen Het field is apart. He is morose and 
 silent. He is pushed forward and tnade tr) 
 ciinfront Washington. He resists, and a 
 scuffle results. The attention of Washing- 
 ton is directed to Hetfield. He stritles for- 
 ward and demands to ktiow why the dis- 
 turbance. The citizens unite in clamor. 
 Hetfield remains sullen and obstinate. 
 Washington goes to him and claps a hand 
 upon his shoulder. 
 
 Washington: "So. you be a Tory. Mas- 
 ter Ilillulil-" 
 
 Hetfield (defiantly): "I be!" 
 
 Washington: ".\nd an honest tnaii as 
 well. Faith! Master Hetfield. I cannot 
 abide a lying Tory, and I have met them." 
 
 The Crowd: "Yea, you have — well met!"

 Washington: "L'nhand him. men. and 
 leave it to some sweet l-'airfield maid to 
 convert him — he is too staunch a man for 
 the Redcoats." (They release Hetfield, 
 who is now shamefaced and half won.) 
 
 Hetfield: "Your Honor, I am no coward 
 — 1 stand by my principles." 
 
 Washington: "Well said, but they arc 
 out of fasTiioii in these parts. 1 shall keep 
 thee 111 iiiiiul. Master Hetfield." (Children 
 run on with a May pide.l "But what is 
 this — a merrymaking?"

 Villagers: "In your honor. Excellency!" 
 
 The May pole is set up. Washington is 
 seated in rustic state. Lads and lassies 
 dance. A peddler of rustic wares drifts on. 
 The landlord offers cider. A fiddler bows 
 away. When the dance is ended, Wash- 
 ington rises, summons the landlord and re- 
 quests his bill. The landlord refuses his 
 gold piece and shows ^^■ashington his mus- 
 ket. Washington takes the musket, holds 
 it aloft and addresses the crowd. 
 
 Washington: "An excellent musket, 
 friends." 
 
 A Voice: "Yea, and used." (The crowd 
 cheer.) 
 
 Washington (to Saunders): "Would you 
 give it me. Master Sanders?" 
 
 Sanders: "Yea, General; but I value it." 
 
 Washington: "I have a use for it, I prom- 
 ise you." (_The crowd draw closer.) "Citi- 
 zen Hetfield." (Hctfield, astonished, steps 
 forward.) 
 
 Washington: "I have a musket, an excel- 
 lent musket, citizen; take it and use it to 
 fight for a freeman's principles." 
 
 (Hetfield, overcome at the magnaminity, 
 kneels and accepts the gift. The crowd 
 are wild with enthusiasm while they cheer. 
 Washington turns and mounts his horse. 
 They rail)- about him. He waves farewell, 
 uses his spurs and vanishes. The crowd 
 still cheer, while Hetfield, at centre stage, 
 stands gravel)', with fi.xed eyes, holding his 
 gun.) 
 
 Note. — Saunder's Tavern was built in 174S. It 
 was torn down in 1848 and the stones in the 
 foundation of the First Baptist Church. 
 
 Act II — Scene II. 
 
 "Caldwell's Hero." 
 
 Scene is Supposed to be at the Bridge at 
 Springfield. 
 
 The rear of the British are seen in re- 
 treat. They are pursued by the Minute 
 Men, although these brave lads are having 
 difficulty with their muskets. 
 
 Officer (seeing his men slacken their 
 fire): "Come, lads, come!" 
 
 Minute Men: "Our wadding is giving 
 out." 
 
 Another: "Mine is gone!" 
 
 Officer: "No wadding! And we have 
 them on the run! Zounds!" 
 
 Minute Man (dropping musket, his head 
 in his hands): "My last shot, that!" 
 
 Officer (in despair): "Halt! Pursue no 
 further." 
 
 (The Rev. James Caldwell stumbles on 
 in great haste. He calls to the men): 
 "Have courage, lads — there is no dearth of 
 wadding in my good church yonder." (He 
 rushes to the church and enters.) 
 
 Minute Man: "Yea. heed the parson." 
 
 (Caldwell reappears with his arms filled 
 with hymn books.) 
 
 Caldwell: "Halt! Never, lads! Here is 
 wadding of the best. Take my hymn books, 
 lads. Give 'em Watts — give 'em Watts!" 
 
 (The Minute Men rush to him and begin 
 to tear out the leaves and wad their guns, 
 shouting meanwhile) : 
 
 "Yea, Parson, give 'em Watts!" 
 
 (They rush forward, the Parson snatches 
 the gun of a wounded man. Caldwell, his 
 voice above the others as he joins them) : 
 "Wadding, yea, good waddin.g! Give 'em 
 Watts — give 'em Watts!" 
 
 XoTE. — Parson Caldwell was a frequent visitor to 
 Fairfield. His numerous ministrations to the early 
 settlers was the reason for their adoption of the 
 name "Caldwell." Pie thus belongs to its history. 
 
 Act II— Scene III. 
 "Caldwell is Named." 
 
 The first town meeting was in 1799. The 
 I citizens assemble on the green. To the left 
 { a culprit in stocks is seen — Samuel Den- 
 man, accused of stealing sheep. On the 
 right the women and children, properly 
 awed, remain at a respectful distance. 
 Many have brought milking stools and use 
 these as seats — others sit upon the grass. 
 The'women knit and sew, a few bring spin- 
 ning wheels. 
 
 Benches are placed centre stage for the 
 
 1 iinportant citizens and the ceremony of 
 
 election begins. A moderator is elected 
 
 and takes his place in a large chair. After 
 
 : this the ballots for other officers are shaken 
 
 I up in the beaver loaned for the occasion. 
 
 This done, the entire body congratulates 
 
 itself and assumes the official manner. 
 
 They arrange the benches in a half circle, 
 
 the moderator presiding. A large bell is 
 
 rung and the crier sings out. 
 
 Crier: "Citizens, assemble." (The women 
 and children rise and gather about him.) 
 
 Moderator: "Louder, crier!" 
 
 Crier: "This town, now, being a town of 
 size and importance, is resolved upon town 
 officers and these be duly elected." 
 
 A Small Boy: "Hurrah!" 
 
 Moderator: "Mistress Crane, hush your 
 son — 'tis unseemly and lacking in respect. 
 Proceed, crier." 
 
 Crier (rings bell again and swells with 
 importance): "I — town crier — am instructed 
 by the town officers to announce that in 
 sober thought and with due regard to his 
 valor and service they are resolved to name 
 this town after Parson Caldwell." (Louder.) 
 "Long life and prosperity to this town — 
 Caldwell!" (All cheer wildly. Master 
 Crane flings an apple at the Moderator.) 
 
 A Voice: "Three cheers for Caldwell!" 
 (More cheering, until the crier again rings 
 his bell.)

 The Visit of Gen. Lafayette. 
 
 The citizens are discovered assembled 
 to meet the visitor. The Moderator and 
 his wife are in their best apparel, and the 
 company generally garbed as if lor a holi- 
 day. .V long bench is set out. with glasses 
 and ale. While they wait various citizens 
 make speeches and are applauded by the 
 others. .\ small boy. dust-begrimmcd, runs 
 in. He says that the coach horses of La- 
 fayette were frightened by the blunder- 
 busses of certain citizens who formed an 
 ailvance reception committee, and that one 
 horse has bolted and the coach broken 
 down. 
 
 Boy (running on): "His Excellency is 
 killed! .Ml the grand gentlemen arc 
 kille<l!" 
 
 Second Boy (following): "'Tis false — 
 you gabie — but the coach hath a shaft 
 broke." 
 
 All: "What has happened?" 
 
 Moderator: "Silence! Lad. what be thy 
 tidings '" 
 
2*5^ Anniversary of Settlement of Caldwell 
 
 Boy: "Three men fired blunderbusses as 
 a welcome and a fine mess they made." 
 
 (Confusion among the citizens. A dele- 
 gation are about to set forth for further 
 news when cheers announce their ap- 
 proach.) 
 
 Young Man: " 'Tis not serious, for here 
 they come." 
 
 (Two young girls throw flowers.) 
 
 (Hats come ofif. and the Moderator and 
 his wife advance. The coach approaches, 
 stops, and Gen. Lafayette and Decatur 
 ali.cht.) 
 
 Moderator: "Welcome, Gen. Lafayette, 
 and welcome. Mr. Decatur. We are hon- 
 ored by your presence." 
 
 Gen. Lafayette: "Your servant, sir, and 
 madam." (Bows.) 
 
 Decatur: "Your servant, your servant, 
 dear lady." (The Moderator's wife curtsies. 
 A child presents a wreath to each. They 
 thank her and bow. Shouting off stage in- 
 dicates the approach of the cannon to be 
 presented to Caldwell by Mr. Decatur in 
 the name of his brotlier. Boys drag in the 
 cannon, which is gaily decorated with red, 
 white and blue ribbands and flower gar- 
 lands. The Moderator introduces Deca- 
 tur to the crowd and they applaud. He 
 steps forward and speaks. 
 
 Decatur: "I welcome this opportunity 
 to honor our noble dead, and leave this 
 wreath here in commemoration of their 
 sacrifice." 
 
 Moderator: "And we are honored by the 
 presence of our distinguished visitors. As 
 citizens of a free country, we shall remem- 
 ber and revere this date. In the name of 
 Fairfield, thank you!" 
 
 (Cheers.) 
 
 Decatur: "As a man of few words, I can 
 only add, may prosperity and peace ever 
 remain among us." (All cheer.) 
 
 Gen. Lafayette (laying his wreath beside 
 the others) : "I, too, feel honored that I am 
 permitted to pay this tribute to those who 
 were my noble comrades." (More cheer- 
 ing.) 
 
 Moderator: "Believe me. sir, it is an oc- 
 casion for history." 
 
 Lafayette (bowing): "Thanks, sir; and 
 now may I express my regret that impor- 
 tant events claim iny attention and that we 
 must only remain these brief moments." 
 
 Moderator: "But first we must drink a 
 toast til ijur guests and to our country." 
 
 Moderator's Wife (filling glasses and giv- 
 ing to Lafayette) : "Here, sir, and here, Mr. 
 Decatur." (They accept the glasses and 
 all gather about Lafayette.) 
 
 Moderator: "A toast." (All raise their 
 glasses. ) 
 
 Decatur: "To our brave comrade of 
 France." (Glasses.) 
 
 Lafayette: "To your brave countrymen 
 who are my comrades." 
 
 Moderator: "Peace, Prosperity and Free- 
 dom." 
 
 All: "Freedom." 
 
 Act III— Scene II. 
 
 Drilling Day on the Green. 
 
 At left stage a booth is set up trimmed with 
 bunting and wreathed with flowers. At centre 
 stage is a small platform with a seat upon it 
 for the fiddler. When the scene opens the 
 tender of the booth is seen arranging his 
 wares ; popcorn, candy, lemonade, etc. Strains 
 of a fiddle are heard and the fiddler at the 
 head of a band of merry-makers approaches. 
 These are principally young men and maidens, 
 and small children, all in holiday attire. They 
 seat the fiddler with mock ceremony. He bows 
 and addresses them. They demand a dance 
 and he strikes up "Money Musk." They are 
 interrupted by the arrival of a stagecoach of 
 visitors. They are driven on in the old stage- 
 coach and descend, burdened with carpet bags 
 and boxes. In the confusion of greetings, 
 bustle, etc., a little boy — Grover Cleveland — is 
 forgotten. He strays beneath the horses' feet 
 and would have been killed had not Mrs. 
 Crane sprung to his rescue. With the child 
 in her arms she is surrounded and congratu- 
 lated on her bravery. Grover is not hurt and 
 presently is enjoying himself as usual. The 
 Moderator and his wife arrive and a review- 
 ing committee form at right. Now enter the 
 squad of volunteers. All in a motley array 
 of uniforms they march on and go through a 
 drill. To their embarrassment the company 
 applaud them wildly. After a few minutes 
 of drill they are so exhausted that lemonade 
 is brought them by the fair admirers and they 
 are fanned with the hats of their rivals. A 
 boy appears bearing a grotesque scare-crow 
 figure dressed in the scarlet coat of the British 
 soldier. The company hoot and jeer. The 
 fiddler strikes up the strains of Yankee Doodle 
 and a procession is formed, with the fiddler 
 and the scare-crow at its head. They make a 
 detour of the stage and disappear in a gay 
 and disorderly rout. .\Ione the vender is left 
 counting his pennies and shaking his head at 
 his evident disappointment. 
 
 Act III— Scene III. 
 The Return of the Boys in Blue. 
 
 A reviewing stand is seen at center stage, 
 trimmed with bunting and draped with a 
 huge national flag. A group of young peo- 
 ple enter, girls in crinoline and men in the 
 gay waistcoats and stocks of the period. 
 They set to work to further ornament the 
 stand. 
 
 Miss Featherpate: "Oh. I am so excited! 
 I wish I had worn my other bonnet now!"

 ple — yes. yes Are the tlaKS for Jackson's 
 boys or Grant's?" (.\ll shocked.) 
 
 "Why. granny, they are for the boys in 
 blue, of Course." 
 
 Old Gentlewoman: "1 have lost sons and 
 my mother lost sons. Our sons died, but 
 there were others who came hack, and how- 
 happy every one was and how gay the 
 bunting looked! There was a reason for it 
 all, but I am so old I forget." 
 
 (Enter a young woman dressed as Miss 
 Liberty. She goes to her place in the 
 stand, and while the others gather around 
 her she takes a pose and exclaims.) 
 
 Miss Liberty: "How do you like my cos- 
 tume — I am Miss Liberty!" 
 
 Old Gentlewoman: "Liberty — yes, that 
 was it — now I remember." 
 
 Young Man (gently): "Come and sit 
 down, granny, and wait for the soldiers." 
 (He leads her to a chair in the stand.) 
 
 ( Enter the Moderator and his wife, fol- 
 lowed by the reception committee of ma- 
 trons and men. They form a half circle, 
 with Miss Liberty in the center on a raised 
 dias. The Moderator bows to all present 
 and speaks with the ( )ld Gentlewoman.) 
 
 A Boy: "Here they come! Here they 
 come!" (Turns handsprings.) 
 
 (OflF stage is heard the spirited music of 
 the band. Then, to the tune of "John 
 Brown's Body," the handful of Caldwell 
 soldiers enter. The crowd shout and cheer 
 and the young girls throw flowers. Hats 
 are thrown in the air and all shout "Wel- 
 come home, boys! — welcome!") 
 
 (Miss Featherpate. in her excitement, 
 tears her huge bouquet in pieces and tosses 
 it to them. The Moderator steps forward 
 and raises his han<l. The music ceases, and 
 there is a silence, which the Old Gentle- 
 woman suddenly breaks.) 
 
 Old Gentlewoman: "I forget— did you 
 >,(> till y wire Jiukson's boys or Grant s?" 
 
 Miss Featherpate: "Hush, granny!" 
 
 Moderator: 'My sons, our sons, we wel- 
 come you back with hearts tilled with grati- 
 tude an<l pride. The war which threatened 
 to disrupt the I'nion has ended gloriously 
 for freedom. Slavery exists im more and 
 the nation is saved. The gun which it.-, I

 (.\t his conclusion the baml breaks into 
 ".\inerica." The soldiers salute, and the 
 scene ends with cheers and the reuniting 
 of families.) 
 
 America — National Hymn. 
 
 Music by Henry Carey. .Adapted from 
 Dr. John Bull. Words by Samuel F. Smith. 
 
 1. My country, 'tis of thee. 
 Sweet land of liberty. 
 
 Of thee I sing: 
 Land where my fathers dieil ! 
 Land of the pilgrims' pride! 
 From every mountain side 
 
 Let freedom ring! 
 
 2. My native country, thee. 
 Land of the noble, free. 
 
 Thy name I love ; 
 1 love thy rocks and rills. 
 Thy woods and templed hills : 
 My heart with rapture thrills 
 
 Like that above. 
 
 i. Let music swell the breeze. 
 .-\nd ring from all the trees 
 
 Sweet freedom's .song : 
 Let mortal tongues awake; 
 Let all that breathe partake ; 
 Let rocks their silence break. 
 
 The sound prolong. 
 
 4. Our fathers' God! to thee. 
 .Xuthor of liberty. 
 
 To thee we sing : 
 Long may our land Ik bright 
 With freedom's holy light ; 
 Protect us by thy might. 
 
 Great God. our King ! 
 
 Epilogue. 
 On the empty stage stand the Caldwell 
 remnant of a vast army — the veterans of the 
 Civil War — and while we applaud we must 
 remember that similar remnants exist Ih-Iow 
 that once signilicant line dividing the North 
 and .South — a line which divides no longer. 
 .\nd while these veterans, so few, so old, so 
 huddled, stand here in our familiar meadow, 
 children join them — not a few. but many- 
 children and children. The great, great, grand- 
 children of the very settlers whose deeds we 
 have first enacted, and children only just, per- 
 haps, come overseas. .\nd as they stand there. 
 Confident and happy — all in white for our 
 I aldwell pageant — we know that they are a 
 s>int>ol and that in our new generation rests 
 iir future.
