Note 33 — Chapter II · The First Military Expedition.
Reading edition
“A gentleman, who had heard that Colonel Washington had said that he knew of no music so pleasing as the whistling of bullets, being alone in conversation with him, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, asked him whether it was as he had related. The general answered, ‘If I said so, it was when I was young.’”—Gordon’s History, vol. ii. p. 203.
