Willis Fletcher Johnson (1857 – March 29, 1931), was an author, journalist, and lecturer who had a twenty-year tenure as the foreign and diplomatic editorial writer for The New York Tribune.[1]
Critical reception
According to Paula Hunt, writing in New England Historical & Genealogical Register reviewed it as a "charming, simple memoir",[3] which she says was intended to "remedy a belief that the Revolution-era militia and its officers had not received the recognition they deserved and to ensure the colonel's place in American history", citing page vii of the Memoirs.[4] She characterized the work as a "not wholly reliable source".[5]
