Download or read book The Making of John Ledyard written by Edward G. Gray and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the course of his short but extraordinary life, John Ledyard (1751–1789) came in contact with some of the most remarkable figures of his era: the British explorer Captain James Cook, American financier Robert Morris, Revolutionary naval commander John Paul Jones, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and others. Ledyard lived and traveled in remarkable places as well, journeying from the New England backcountry to Tahiti, Hawaii, the American Northwest coast, Alaska, and the Russian Far East. In this engaging biography, the historian Edward Gray offers not only a full account of Ledyard’s eventful life but also an illuminating view of the late eighteenth-century world in which he lived. Ledyard was both a product of empire and an agent in its creation, Gray shows, and through this adventurer’s life it is possible to discern the many ways empire shaped the lives of nations, peoples, and individuals in the era of the American Revolution, the world’s first modern revolt against empire.

Book excerpt: Ledyard, Connecticut, is located along the east bank of the Thames River. The town was named for Colonel William Ledyard, who commanded Colonial forces in the Battle of Groton Heights in September 1781. The town's western village of Gales Ferry was the location of a fort established by Commodore Stephen Decatur during the War of 1812. The images in Ledyard and Gales Ferry provide a nostalgic glimpse of the shared history of these two communities. Included are special events like the Harvard-Yale Regatta, the longest-running intercollegiate athletic event in the nation, and local icons such as the Great Oak, once the second-largest tree in Connecticut, under whose branches native tribes are said to have held their councils.
