Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Burning of Falmouth (Now Portland, Maine): By Capt. Mowatt in 1775 Having given my authorities, I will proceed with my sketch, which I think will explain why the town was burned. The people of the county of Cumberland, and especially those Of Falmouth, began early to express indignation at the acts of Parliament bearing on the colonies. Soon after the passage Of the odious stamp act of 1765, a vessel arrived at Falmouth from Halifax with the hated stamps, and they were deposited in the custom-house. The people immediately assem bled and marched to the custom-house, demanded and received the stamps, then fixed them to the top of a pole, carried them in procession through the streets, to a fire prepared for the purpose, and burned them. In 1774 in a town meeting the citizens resolved that we will not buynor sell any India tea whatever, after this third day of Feb. Until the act that lays a duty on it is repealed. There were then 2500 lbs. Of tea in the hands of the dealers in town. Another resolve, passed at this meeting, acknowledges their obligation to the people of Boston, for their early notice of approaching danger, and for their intrepid behavior on the late tea-ships' arrival, and trust they will still be our watch-tower, and they may depend on our utmost endeavors to support them at all times, in defence of their rights and liberties. Also, we rejoice that though surrounded by fleets and armies, you yet remain firm and resolute. At the close of the proceedings the town voted that a committee be chosen to meet committees of other towns to consult on the alarming state of public affairs.

Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE A magisterial new work that rewrites the story of America's founding The American Revolution is often portrayed as an orderly, restrained rebellion, with brave patriots defending their noble ideals against an oppressive empire. It’s a stirring narrative, and one the founders did their best to encourage after the war. But as historian Holger Hoock shows in this deeply researched and elegantly written account of America’s founding, the Revolution was not only a high-minded battle over principles, but also a profoundly violent civil war—one that shaped the nation, and the British Empire, in ways we have only begun to understand. In Scars of Independence, Hoock writes the violence back into the story of the Revolution. American Patriots persecuted and tortured Loyalists. British troops massacred enemy soldiers and raped colonial women. Prisoners were starved on disease-ridden ships and in subterranean cells. African-Americans fighting for or against independence suffered disproportionately, and Washington’s army waged a genocidal campaign against the Iroquois. In vivid, authoritative prose, Hoock’s new reckoning also examines the moral dilemmas posed by this all-pervasive violence, as the British found themselves torn between unlimited war and restraint toward fellow subjects, while the Patriots documented war crimes in an ingenious effort to unify the fledgling nation. For two centuries we have whitewashed this history of the Revolution. Scars of Independence forces a more honest appraisal, revealing the inherent tensions between moral purpose and violent tendencies in America’s past. In so doing, it offers a new origins story that is both relevant and necessary—an important reminder that forging a nation is rarely bloodless.

This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1775, Captain Henry Mowat infamously ordered the burning of Falmouth--now Portland. That act cast him as the arch-villain in the state's Revolutionary history, but Mowat's impact on Maine went far beyond a single order. The Scottish Mowat began his North American career by surveying the Maine coast, capturing and confiscating colonial merchant ships he suspected of smuggling. Already feared by Mainers when the war broke out, his legacy was further tarnished when he was blamed for dismantling Fort Pownall at the mouth of the Penobscot River. In this volume, local historian Harry Gratwick examines the life of Henry Mowat and whether he truly was the scoundrel of Revolutionary Maine.
