Description

The Liberty Boys of ’76 No. 1 was published by Frank Tousey on 4 January 1901. The last issue was The Liberty Boys of ’76 No. 1273 for May 1925. There were about 100 of these Liberty Boys, who, suffering casualties, were always able to fill up their ranks with new recruits, though the latter had to pass a rigid test. Dick Slater was captain of the band and knew that the effectiveness of such a small force lay in its mobility and quick striking power. Mostly they served as infantry, like the regulars of the Continental Line, but occasionally they appeared as cavalrymen or mounted infantry, and Captain Slater always rode a black charger named Major. Several real-life personalities appeared in the stories (and on the covers) including General Washington, General “Mad Anthony” Wayne, Colonel George Rogers Clark, the Marquis de Lafayette, General Francis “Swamp Fox” Marion, Molly Pilcher, Daniel Boone, Simon Girty, and General Benedict Arnold.
