Download or read book Lafayette at Brandywine written by Bruce Mowday and published by Barricade Books. This book was released on 2021-10 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's first international hero, the Marquis Lafayette, risked his life and spent his fortune in the fight for American independence from England. Without Lafayette and the assistance of France, America would never have been victorious during the American Revolution. While being celebrated in America in the 18th and 19th century - including a grand American tour that lasted more than a year - Lafayette's heroic deeds are fading from America's consciousness. The importance of the battle of Brandywine, where Lafayette was wounded on September 11, 1777, has not been recognized as a major turning point in America's independence. Lafayette at Brandywine: The Making of an American Hero redefines Lafayette's role in America's fight for freedom and the historical importance of the battle of Brandywine.

Book excerpt: The truth about our nation's birth is often clouded and controversial. Original source documents are helpful but need to be cross checked for facts. In keeping with this, the Fort Plain Museum and Historical Park present the pensions of the men who served at both forts. They often mention walking between both of the forts in the same sentence. James Morrison has checked the facts with other original source documents and end noted the pensions. In order to qualify for a pension, the applicant had to prove his service, hence came many interesting stories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this major new history of the Continental Army's Grand Forage of 1778, award-winning military historian Ricardo A. Herrera uncovers what daily life was like for soldiers during the darkest and coldest days of the American Revolution: the Valley Forge winter. Here, the army launched its largest and riskiest operation—not a bloody battle against British forces but a campaign to feed itself and prevent starvation or dispersal during the long encampment. Herrera brings to light the army's herculean efforts to feed itself, support local and Continental governments, and challenge the British Army. Highlighting the missteps and triumphs of both General George Washington and his officers as well as ordinary soldiers, sailors, and militiamen, Feeding Washington's Army moves far beyond oft-told, heroic, and mythical tales of Valley Forge and digs deeply into its daily reality, revealing how close the Continental Army came to succumbing to starvation and how strong and resourceful its soldiers and leaders actually were.

Book excerpt: Stalked by monsters in the woods and her past, Anora finds safety in the quiet comforts of her small town life. It's another ordinary day when she's sent to a Guardian assessment designed to unleash rare supernatural abilities, until she blasts a tunnel of water across the room. Her coach calls her gift a blessing, but Anora knows it's a death sentence. Now she must train as a Guardian and battle the very monsters that have tormented her entire life. After being thrown into the arena with a clawed and cackling creature, Anora refuses to accept this new life. She appeals to the Commander and begs her trainers to let her go home. The more they refuse, the more Anora realizes this isn't a training camp-it's a prison and they will never let her leave. Now she must escape the camp before the Commander catches on, for if he does, he may turn out to be worse than the monsters lurking in the woods.
Download or read book Lost Mohawk Valley written by Bob Cudmore and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-21 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life in the Mohawk Valley today is vastly different from generations ago. Long gone are the factory whistles calling workers to their shifts in old mill towns. Fort Plain still benefits from little-known inventor William Yerdon, and Utica baseball player George Burns was so skilled that fans called left field "Burnsville." Few realize that a local artist shared a special bond with John Philip Sousa, one of the nation's greatest musicians. The Tamarack Playhouse was once the venue of spectacular theatricals, and as time goes on, there are fewer alumni to remember Amsterdam's Bishop Scully High School. Local author Bob Cudmore shows that while lost, these and other compelling stories no longer need be forgotten.
Download or read book Past and Prologue written by Michael D. Hattem and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How American colonists reinterpreted their British and colonial histories to help establish political and cultural independence from Britain In Past and Prologue, Michael Hattem shows how colonists’ changing understandings of their British and colonial histories shaped the politics of the American Revolution and the origins of American national identity. Between the 1760s and 1800s, Americans stopped thinking of the British past as their own history and created a new historical tradition that would form the foundation for what subsequent generations would think of as “American history.” This change was a crucial part of the cultural transformation at the heart of the Revolution by which colonists went from thinking of themselves as British subjects to thinking of themselves as American citizens. Rather than liberating Americans from the past—as many historians have argued—the Revolution actually made the past matter more than ever. Past and Prologue shows how the process of reinterpreting the past played a critical role in the founding of the nation.

This book was released on 2018-05-07 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Old Fort Plain and the Middle Mohawk Valley (With Five Maps): A Review of Mohawk Valley History From 1609 to the Time of the Writing of This Book (1912-1914), Treating Particularly of the Central Region Comprised in the Present Counties of Herkimer, Montgomery and Fulton The time dealt with lends added interest to a sketch of its people, places and events on account of its remoteness. Although we are separated from it by only about a century and a half of time (since the date of the erection of Fort Plain), the vital changes of that period have given American life an absolutely different phase. Up to the building of the Erie canal the details of human existence had been the same, practically, for centuries. Today we live in a different world from our American forebears of 1776.
