Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal or Historical Recollections of American Events: During the Revolutionary War This Journal or Diary of Events which occur red during our Revolutionary War, is published, verbatim, literatim et pwnctuatim, from a faithful copy, made in 1874, of the original Journal writ ten by Elias Boudinot, and which was then in the possession of Joseph J. Mickley, of Philadelphia. That the publication of the same is merely cairy ing out the desire of the author who wished to bequeath to posterity a true and ungarbled ao count Of the important occurrences of those times, is attested to by himself, in the early pages of the Journal; as he says, A great many interesting anecdotes, that happened during the American Revolutionary War, are likely to be lost to pos terity, by the negligence of the parties concerned, in not recording them I shall therefore Without any attention to order, set down those I have had any acquaintance with, attending principally to the truth of the facts. Conse quently, we have here a gathering of anecdotes of vital historical interest, bequeathed to us by him who participated in many of the occurrences, or which were narrated to him, at the time of their inception, by other participants. Many of the narratives impart information not to be obtained from any other source, while some establish the claim to truthfulness of deeds which were ascribed to individuals, and which have been, until this publication, considered vague and imag inary; as instance the anecdote of John Aitken, alias John the Painter, who intended to assassi nate George the Third, but who was diverted from the deed by Silas Deane, and destroyed instead the naval stores at Portsmouth, England; also the anecdote of the heroine, Lydia Darrah, who con veyed to the author the information of the intended movements Of the British Army at Philadelphia, and the imparting of which to General Washing ton, saved the Continental Army a disastrous defeat.

On comparing this with other information I found it true, and immediately rode Post to head Quarters--According to V my usual Custom & agreeable to orders rec from Genl W.

This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes over 20 maps and illustrations The American Revolution, the Bicentennial of which we are celebrating in 1975 and 1976, was an event of utmost significance in the history of both this country and the world. It brought into being a nation, dedicated to the ideals of liberty and justice, that was destined to become, in less than two centuries, the leader of the western world. And it marked the beginning of vast changes that would sweep that western world in the century following, thrusting aside old monarchical institutions in favor of representative government and free economic institutions. Albeit fought on the battlefields much like other eighteenth century wars, it also carried within it the seeds of change in the military sphere that were to sprout and grow in the French Revolution less than two decades later. It was, in this sense, a war of transition between the epoch of limited wars fought by professional armies and people’s wars fought by the “nation in arms.” Our first national army, the Continental Army, was created to fight the Revolution. As the forebear of the United States Army of today, the Continental Army established many of the traditions and practices still honored in our service. The War of the American Revolution was, until Vietnam at least, the Army’s longest war. It is altogether fitting and proper then that the United States Army should pay particular attention to the study of its origins during the bicentennial years and commemorate the events of the Revolution in which the Continental Army and its adjunct, the militia, participated. The purpose of this small volume is to provide a ready reference for such study and observance. The American Revolution has been intensively studied and written about in the two hundred years that have elapsed since 1775. There is much good scholarship as well as popular writing, both old and new, covering all aspects of the conflict and the political and social changes that accompanied it.

Download or read book The American Revolution Illustrated Edition written by Robert W. Coakley and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2018-11-02 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eBook edition of the American Revolution history has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. This book on the American Revolution consists of three parts-a brief narrative history of the war, a chronology of military events, and a bibliography. Each part requires a word of explanation. The narrative consists of one chapter on the colonial background of American military history and two on the Revolution itself. Part Two is a chronology, oriented toward military events, covering the period between the signing of the Treaty of Paris ending the Seven Years War in 1763 and the ratification by the Continental Congress some twenty years later of a second Treaty of Paris confirming American independence. Part Three, the bibliography, contains listings of over a thousand titles of books, articles, and published source material on the American Revolution. The emphasis is again on the land war, but proportionately the bibliography gives more attention to the political, social and economic aspects of the Revolution and to its naval phase than do either the narrative or the chronology.
