Yes. " These are the times that try mens souls" - Molly Pitcher
That is not a quote by Molly Pitcher; Thomas Paine said that.
Thomas Paine wrote those words in a pamphlet called The Crisis. Paine wrote several pamphlets with that title, but these words were in the first one. The reason was that during the winter George Washington spent at Valley Forge, his troops and the colonists at large began to weary of the war and many wanted to stop it. He mainly wrote it for the troops though, many of whom were on the verge of deserting, leaving the army as their enlistments ran out or just plain mutineering. Paine's work convinced many soldiers and civilians to keep on fighting instead of giving up even though the times were so hard that they did try mens' souls.

These are times that try men's souls".
During the struggle of the American Revolution, Thomas Paine (an author and philosopher) wrote a series of pamphlets to inspire people. In one of these pamphlets, released shortly before General George Washington led American troops in crossing the Delaware, Paine penned the words "These are the times that try men's souls" and they were embraced by both American soldiers and citizens alike.
The quote "These are the times that try men's souls" is from the pamphlet "The American Crisis" by Thomas Paine, published in 1776. It was written during the American Revolution to inspire soldiers to continue fighting for independence.
The American Revolution was a time that truly tried men's souls. This was due to the harsh conditions that the colonial army and militias faced. They also faced overwhelming British troops, and were seriously outnumbered at every turn. Still, the colonials pressed on until they achieved independence for themselves and their fellow countrymen.
