Deborah by James M. Ludlow

For the descriptions of the battles of Judas mentioned in this book the writer has been compelled to supplement with his own imagination very meagre historic materials. The place of the fight with Apollonius (The Wady) is unidentified by chroniclers. The affair at Bethhoron follows only the general topography of the region. The stratagem of Judas at Emmaus is, however, well known, and was imitated by Bonaparte. The method of “The Hammer” at Bethzur cannot have differed greatly from that described. The result of all these battles is as historic as it was marvellous.
