Hendrick Fisher was not a rash, reckless patriot who under excitement and passionate impulse rushed into war without counting the cost. Probabiy no man was more anxious for a peaceful and honorable settlement of all the difliculties between Great Britain and the American Co...lonies. Hoping, praying, working for that result until patience ceased to be a virtue, un- til there was no hope of relief from the King or Parliament, then the grand old patriot became a hero in the struggle, and his determined, unconquerable spirit was the mighty factor for independence in the Colony. Thus Hendrick Fisher was forced to be the leader of the patriot host. It was after the " em- battled farmers" at Concord had " fired the shot heard 'round the world," — afler hearing "the clanking of the British chains on the plains of Boston," — after Great Britain had given the Colonies a choice between slavery or rebellion, that Hendrick Fisher threw himself into the conflict for '' Liberty or Death." May 23, 1775, pursuant to the call of the Committee of Correspondence, the First Provincial Congress of New Jersey met at Trenton.
