Book excerpt: Drawing from historical journals and letters, New York Times bestselling author Laura Elliot weaves a richly detailed tale about the extraordinary Peggy Schuyler and her revolutionary friendship with Alexander Hamilton. Perfect for fans of the smash musical sensation Hamilton. Peggy Schuyler has always felt like she’s existed in the shadows of her beloved sisters: the fiery, intelligent Angelica and beautiful, sweet Eliza. But it’s in the throes of a chaotic war that Peggy finds herself a central figure amid Loyalists and Patriots, spies and traitors, friends and family. When a flirtatious aide-de-camp, Alexander Hamilton, writes to Peggy asking for her help in wooing the earnest Eliza, Peggy finds herself unable to deny such an impassioned plea. A fast friendship forms between the two, but Alexander is caught in the same war as her father, and the danger to all their lives is real. Everything is a battlefield—from the frontlines to their carefully coded letters—but will Peggy’s bravery’s and intelligence be enough to keep them all safe?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Major General Philip Schuyler and the Burgoyne Campaign in the Summer of 1777: The Annual Address Delivered Tuesday Evening, 2d January, 1877, Before the New York Historical Society Yes, New York was to the Thirteen Colonies, that which Belgium or Flanders or the old Netherlands had and has been for centuries in Europe, the battle-field between France and England. During our embryo condition, New York was to France and England exactly what Sicily became in the prophetic language of Pyrrhus, for Rome and for Carthage, the training-ground for British and French soldiers and generals, their regulars, provincials, and Colonial militia. In a similar school to that of Schuyler, and among many of the principal actors on the fields of 1776 and 1777, Washington prepared himself for his extraordinary station, and with such experience, Selmyler made himself the eminently useful man he turned out to be-sufficiently practical to ruin so renowned a professional as Burgoyne, to whom all the world imputed genius. He was the second Major General nominated by the Colonial Congress, second only in grade to Washington, and second to no man in the virtues which constitute one of nature's nobility-second in nothing that is re pequisite to complete and make up the Christian gentleman. To whom, of all our continental major generals, excepting Washington, would such language as this be applicable unless to Major General Philip Schuyler. To those present, who may not be intimately acquainted with the history of the American Revolution, such language may appear like exaggeration. No one will esteem it so when he hears the following attest from the pen of me of our most truthful, judicious, learned and reliable men-the venerable Chancellor James Kent: "Among the patriots of the America Revolution who asserted the rights of their country in council, and equally vindicated its cause in the field, the name of Philip Schuyler stands pre-eminent, in acuteness of intellect, profound thought, indefatigable activity, exhanstless energy, pure patriotism, and persevering and intrepid public efforts, he had no superior." Again, this distinguished man remarked in a discourse before this very Society in 1828: "If the military life of General Schuyler was inferior in brilliancy to that of some others of his countrymen, none of them ever surpassed him in fidelity, activity, and devotedness to the service.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Schuyler Mansion at Albany: Residence of Major-General Philip Schuyler, 1762-1804 It was a pleasing sight that met the eye of Philip Schuyler, as he approached Albany in the packet sloop that brought him from New York, upon his return from England, in 1762. A large, new house of yellow brick, substantially built, stood on the slope above the high river bank, about half a mile south of the city. It commanded a fine view of the Hudson, beautiful in those old days with its green shores sloping to the water's edge, its willow fringed islands lying out in the stream. Promontories crowned with noble trees extended into the water; on the pebbly beaches adjoining them the tides plashed and rippled, and in every direction the white sails of the passing boats gave life and animation to the scene. The house, named "The Pastures," has been described as "a landmark for many years, until the town grew up about it; - a hospitable house, for which travelers looked as they ascended the river, and which still stands in perfect preservation, as a testimony to the architectural taste and good workmanship of the time."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Times of Philip Schuyler, Vol. 1 Of all the prominent men in public life in America during the last half of the eighteenth century, not one so really distinguished for important services as General Schuyler has received so little attention from the essayist, the historian, or the biographer, as he. His name is familiar to all who possess even a superficial knowledge of his country's annals, and yet, to all, the details of his career in civil and military life are unknown. His figure, as drawn by the historian's pen, is seen in bold relief, in detached pictures illustrative of his country's history from the dawn of the birth-day of the Republic until the firm establishment of government under the federal constitution; but the really more important phases of his useful life are hidden or but imperfectly apprehended. General Schuyler's career was not brilliant but eminently useful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Revolutionary Characters written by Gordon S. Wood and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-05-18 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this brilliantly illuminating group portrait of the men who came to be known as the Founding Fathers, the incomparable Gordon Wood has written a book that seriously asks, "What made these men great?" and shows us, among many other things, just how much character did in fact matter. The life of each—Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, Hamilton, Madison, Paine—is presented individually as well as collectively, but the thread that binds these portraits together is the idea of character as a lived reality. They were members of the first generation in history that was self-consciously self-made men who understood that the arc of lives, as of nations, is one of moral progress.
