Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A well-organized and concise introduction to the war’s major battles” (The Journal of America’s Military Past). Winner of the Gold Star Book Award for History from the Military Writers Society of America This is the first comprehensive account of every engagement of the Revolution, a war that began with a brief skirmish at Lexington Green on April 19, 1775, and concluded on the battlefield at the Siege of Yorktown in October 1781. In between were six long years of bitter fighting on land and at sea. The wide variety of combats blanketed the North American continent from Canada to the Southern colonies, from the winding coastal lowlands to the Appalachian Mountains, and from the North Atlantic to the Caribbean. Every entry begins with introductory details including the date of the battle, its location, commanders, opposing forces, terrain, weather, and time of day. The detailed body of each entry offers both a Colonial and a British perspective of the unfolding military situation, a detailed and unbiased account of what actually transpired, a discussion of numbers and losses, an assessment of the consequences of the battle, and suggestions for further reading. Many of the entries are supported and enriched by original maps and photos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Battles of the American Revolution: 1775-1781, Historical and Military Criticism, With Topographical Illustration Historical and Military This volume had its origin at Tarrytown, New York, in 1847, through the statement of Washington Irving that the battle known as that of White Plains was actually fought on Chatterton Hill. He pointed out the localities minutely, and approved the sketch which has developed as the present map. He stated, very seriously, that a similar examination and chart of other battle-fields, with the use of British, French, and Hessian field-notes, reports, and dispatches, would be necessary, before the character of Washington as a soldier, and of the contest itself, could be fully understood; but that years, possibly a generation, would be requisite for the task. The undertaking, deliberately begun and kept in view through many interruptions, was completed at the end of nearly thirty years. The proof-sheets of the first edition, six in number, were patiently and critically read by Ex-President Theodore D. Woolsey, of Yale College; Rev. Dr. Oliver Crane, of Morristown, New Jersey; Benson J. Lossing, Esq., Historian, and Adjutant-general Wm. S. Striker, of New Jersey, and the chief portion by General William T. Sherman. Hon. William M. Evarts, Henry Day, Esq., and James B. Brinsmade, Esq., of New York city, so fully examined maps and text as to endorse the accuracy of the research. The subsequent endorsement of George Bancroft, the American Historian; of Earl Derby; Colonel Hamley, President of the Queen's Staff College; Sir Joseph Hooker, President of the Royal Society; Thomas Hughes and others, in Great Britain; and of President Thiers; Monsieur A. de Rochambeau; Senator Oscar de Lafayette; Louis d'Orleans, Comte d'Paris, and others, in France, inspired special care as to succeeding editions. In preparing this, the fifth edition, additional aid has been rendered by other painstaking scholars, who have endeavored to eliminate even typographical errors; but in no material sense has the text been called in question, at home or abroad.

Download or read book The Invasion of Virginia 1781 written by Michael Cecere and published by Journal of the American Revolu. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the sixth year of the American Revolution, Britain determined that Virginia would be the key to subduing the entire rebellion. The American War for Independence was fought in nearly every colony, but some colonies witnessed far more conflict than others. In the first half of the war, the bulk of military operations were concentrated in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Following the battle at Monmouth Courthouse, New Jersey, in 1778, British strategy moved to the South, where their armies clashed with Continental troops in Georgia and South Carolina. Surprisingly, Virginia saw little fighting up to this point in the war. This changed suddenly in 1781, when the turncoat Benedict Arnold led 1,600 seasoned British troops on a successful raid up the James River to Richmond, destroying Patriot property along the way. Arnold's bold stroke demonstrated Virginia's vulnerability to attack and the possibility that the colonies could be divided and subdued piecemeal. British General Henry Clinton decided to reinforce Arnold in Virginia, while events in North Carolina, including the battle of Guilford Courthouse, convinced British General Charles Cornwallis that defeating the Patriots in Virginia was the key to ending the war. As historian Michael Cecere relates in The Invasion of Virginia 1781, the war's arrival in the largest colony had unintended consequences for Cornwallis and his powerful British force. -- Inside jacket flap.
