| Summary | "Harper's Young People, May 10, 1881" by Various is a magazine published in the late 19th century. It serves as a collection of stories, illustrations, and articles aimed at a younger audience, with content that ranges from historical narratives to educational pieces. Notably, the magazine offers accounts of American history, such as the events surrounding the Revolutionary War, alongside engaging stories about nature, animals, and imaginative tales. The opening portion of the magazine introduces a historical narrative by Benson J. Lossing titled "The Fifer of Lexington,” recounting the experiences of Jonathan Harrington, a veteran of the Revolutionary War. Through his eyes, readers witness the events of April 19, 1775, in Lexington, where he played a crucial role as a fifer for the minute-men. The story paints a vivid picture of the importance of bravery and honor during the skirmish, detailing Harrington's reflections on loss, courage, and the valor of his comrades. This historical account not only serves to educate young readers about the fight for American independence but also brings to life the personal stories of those who lived through it.
