Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Military Heroes of the Revolution: With a Narrative of the War of Independence The design of this work is to furnish brief, analytical por traits of those military leaders who, either from superior abi lity, or superior good fortune, have played the most promi nent parts in the wars of the United States. Each biography is made the frame, as it were, for a battle picture, the combat chosen being that in which the hero of the memoir principally distinguished himself. This has always appeared to the author the only true way to g1ve a military portrait. What would a sketch of Hannibal be, without Cannes or one of Bruce with out Bannockburn? The battle in which a great hero dis tinguishes himself, becomes a part of his biography. His fame, and sometimes even his character cannot be understood without it. The author has desired, accordingly, to write a book' which should not only tell when Warren was born, where Putnam spent his youth, or who were the ancestors of Greene and Wayne, but to enshrine as far as his feeble pen has power, the memory of those immortal heroes with Lex ington, Bunker Hill, Eutaw and Stony Point.

Download or read book Band of Giants written by Jack Kelly and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Band of Giants brings to life the founders who fought for our independence in the Revolutionary War. Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin are known to all; men like Morgan, Greene, and Wayne are less familiar. Yet the dreams of the politicians and theorists only became real because fighting men were willing to take on the grim, risky, brutal work of war. We know Fort Knox, but what about Henry Knox, the burly Boston bookseller who took over the American artillery at the age of 25? Eighteen counties in the United States commemorate Richard Montgomery, but do we know that this revered martyr launched a full-scale invasion of Canada? The soldiers of the American Revolution were a diverse lot: merchants and mechanics, farmers and fishermen, paragons and drunkards. Most were ardent amateurs. Even George Washington, assigned to take over the army around Boston in 1775, consulted books on military tactics. Here, Jack Kelly vividly captures the fraught condition of the war—the bitterly divided populace, the lack of supplies, the repeated setbacks on the battlefield, and the appalling physical hardships. That these inexperienced warriors could take on and defeat the superpower of the day was one of the remarkable feats in world history.
