Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of New York During the Revolutionary War, and of the Leading Events in the Other Colonies at That Period, Vol. 1 This history of the early phases Of the dispute and of the conduct of the war, in New York, and of its leading events in the other colonies, depicts the origin of the difficulties in that province, the measures adopted, the events which happened, the men who took part in them, and the results which fol lowed, on both sides; and as they were seen, and known, and noted, by an educated gentleman Of the highest social and official position, who personally knew the subject thoroughly, and has not hesitated to describe it fully, and without regard, to the fear, or favor, of either Side. The Honorable Thomas Jones, Of Fort Neck, Queens County, Long Island, a graduate of Yale College, Recorder of the City, and one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the Province of New York, is the author. It was written, as appears from allusions in the text, between the years 1783 and 1788, during that dark period between the close Of the Revolutionary war and the establishment of the existing form of government of the United States in 1789, which is so little known and understood at this day. A period when the wisest and the best Of.the men who carried through the American Revolution almost despaired of the existence of the colonies which they had contributed to make independent states and which existence was only rendered possible by the slow and extremely unwilling adoption Of the Federal Consti tution framed by the Convention of 1787, an adoption, as John Quincy Adams expressed it, extorted by the grinding necessities Of a reluctant nation.

Lieutenant-Governor Colden to the Earl of Dartmouth. New York, ist June, 1774. The Act of Parliament shutting up the Port of Boston, was brought to this Place by a Merch' Vessell, a few Days before I received it from your Lordship's Office. The Act was immediately publish'd in all our News Papers, and was the subject of all Conversation. I knew that People universally in this Colony had received such Ideas of being taxed at the Pleasure of Parliament, that I was particularly anxious, upon this occasion, to discover the Sentiments of those who might have most Influence over others, and was assured by the Gentlemen of the Council, and others of weight in the City, that no means would be omitted, to prevent the hot headed People takeing any measures that might endanger the Peace and Quiet of the Colony. The Men who at that time call'd themselves the Committee--who dictated, and acted in the name of the People, were many of them, of the lower Rank and all, the warmest zealots of those call'd the Sons of Liberty.'--The more considerable Merchants & Citizens seldom or never appeared among them; but I believe were not displeased with the Clamour and Opposition that was shewn against internal Taxation by Parliament.--The Principal Inhabitants being now afraid that these hot headed men might run the City into dangerous measures, appealed in a considerable body, at the first Meeting of the People after the Boston Port Act was publish'd here.--They dissolved the former Committee, and appointed a new one of 51 Persons, in which care was taken to have a number of the most prudent and considerate People of the Place, some of them have not before join'd in the Public proceedings of the Opposition, and were induced to appear in what they are...

Schedule of American Estate of General Robertson, in the editor's possession. See Note III. preceding. ing, on the ninth of that month. The next day, after examining the sworn proofs sent to them, and Livingston himself, that Committee "Resolved, that the said Robert G. Livingston hath manifested a disposition very unfriendly to the American cause, and ought not to be permitted longer to have an opportunity of exerting his influence to the prejudice of his country, therefore, "Resolved, That the said Robert G. Livingston be committed to the Gaol of the County of Ulster at Kingston, there to remain till such time as this Committee, or the Convention, or a future Legislature shall make further order concerning him, and that the keeper of said Gaol, do receive and detain him accordingly." 1 Shortly after Mr. Livingston requested a rehearing, and offered to disprove the charges, which request was granted. Mr. Egbert Benson and the committee of Rhinebeck and Mr. Livingston subsequently appeared on the 18th of January, 1777, before the Committee to detect Conspiracies, when the latter submitted his disproving evidence, but the Committee resolved "that the said Robert G. Livingston, jun., hath materially failed therein, and that his conduct was highly unfriendly to the American cause," but as he was willing to take the oath of allegiance to this State, it was "ordered that the said Robert G. Livingston, jun., be reprimanded, and on his taking the oath of allegiance aforesaid be discharged." He at once appeared, took the oath, and was discharged accordingly.' On the 6th of January, 1777, the Journal of the Provincial Convention states, that " A letter without signature directed to Robert G....

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New York in the Revolution, Vol. 2: As Colony and State In 1895, Comptroller James A. Roberts, in moving some documents to make room for an extension to his office, brought to light many valuable papers relating to the Revolutionary War and the important position occupied by the State of New York in that momentous struggle. Through the kind assistance of various Legislatures, those documents were arranged and com piled and a volume issued therefrom which has been a valuable addition to the historical records of this State. One fact alone demonstrates the worth of the work which has been prosecuted in the Comptroller's Department in connection with these Revolutionary Records: The State of New York had formerly been credited with having furnished in the War for Independence but men, which number had been accepted as historically accurate. The documents which were first discovered by Mr. Roberts and afterward arranged by him and his successors, prove beyond dispute that New York's quota was at least men, giving to our State a much more commanding position as a factor in the Revolutionary contest than it had thereto fore occupied. The work which was issued by Mr. Roberts passed through two editions prior to the final arrangement of all the Revolutionary papers. On assuming the office of Comptroller, I found that the work of preparing these documents for consultation and the index to the same, had been practically completed and that the binding of the few remaining additional volumes of original documents would complete the Revolution ary work in its entirety. All that remained of interest to the general public was the printing and issuing of a Supplement or companion book to New York in the Revolution, which would give a complete resum of the Revolutionary Records of the Department. The Legislature of 1901 provided an item in the Supply Bill for this work which I now have the pleasure of adding to the historical annals of this State. The second edition of New York in the Revo lution was the roll-call of the officers and men who served in the War. This Supplement gives in a condensed form the history of the War as shown by the documents. It is not a reprint in the entirety of those documents, which only could be done at a great, and probably unwar ranted, expenditure; but it is a work calculated to give sufficient information upon the subject matter contained in those documents to answer every practical purpose. It may be that some future generation may see fit to publish all of the historical documents in this office and in other of the State departments, relating to the struggle of this Colony, with the others, for its independence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New York in the Revolution, Vol. 1: Prepared Under Direction of the Board of Regents Although the volume herewith laid before the public contains about names, the Editor fears that many a family will be disappointed upon not finding an ancestor, whom family tradition has elevated upon the pinnacle of revolutionary fame. The reason for not bringing such names is that the records of the war of Independence, both in the archives of New York and at Washington, are defective; for it has been the Editor's endeavor during five years, to examine every possible clue and enumerate the names there found. New York had been called upon to furnish four Regiments for the Continental army. She furnished, according to the Military Register, which has been mentioned on page 165, and from which most of the names of men serving in the New York Line, have been taken officers and soldiers for active field service out of a population of about inhabitants?

Download or read book The Beginnings of the American Revolution Vol 1 written by Ellen Chase and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginnings of the American Revolution, Vol. 1: Based on Contemporary Letters, Diaries and Other Documents N studying the beginnings of the American Revolu tion, the remark made by John Adams that there was a revolution in men's minds that preceded the years of battle, and that the result of the war but set its seal on a severance of interests already accomplished is more and more clearly pressed home. The successive incidents that bred discord between the mother country and the Colonies are singularly rich in detail and color. Time would fail to tell the story of the period between the Peace of Paris and April 19th in full. There were clashings with stamp masters, bickerings along the water front, tumults, and tea parties up and down the land. The priceless manuscript volumes in the State Archives and the zeal of the Massachusetts Historical Society in bringing to light numerous journals and letters of the day have given unusual facilities for following these years in their relationship to Boston. If the happenings elsewhere are passed by briefly here, they are none the less memorable. The main purpose of the narrative has been to make the Outline of events in this neighborhood live once more in all their wealth of humor and picturesqueness as they were known by the actors. The interest, however, is more than local, more than contemporary, for the elements here shown at Odds are capable Of cropping out again. Taken seriously, the story Of this book may well have a practical side, considered in relation to our newly-acquired Colonial possessions. We at home hear vaguely Of these outlying parts being settled by some Of ourselves; but the conditions into which the Colonists go are but little understood and less noted. Yet, carrying our name and traditions and pluck, we must believe that their day's work will tell as the years go by.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the American Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprehending All the Principal Events Both in the Field and in the Cabinet United States, and the constitutions of the several States, have only given to those chartered rights a new name. The People now speak in their collective majes ty, where a Monarch, in his individual majesty, former ly spoke; and the lips of both utter precisely the same sentiments - se false was the opinion prevalent in the day of our revolution, that our ancestors were rebels. In the prosecution of the present work, it is deem ed proper to state, that the facts have been drawn from what is honestly believed to be the most nuques tionable sources from a painful and accurate examina tion and comparison of the various histories of that important event; from the correspondence of those who were the immediate parties in a struggle rso glorious to our cguntry; from official documents, from the ar chives of our Continental Congress, and those of the different Legislatures and from the orderly books, that may properly be denominated the journals of the army. Much, perhaps, remains to be'known, that may yet be preserved to posterity, if the private cor respondence of those who were the immediate actors in this important drama, has yet survived the dilapi dations of time and of accident but much is irrevoca bly covered by the ashes of the grave.
