Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Continental Congress at Princeton The Mutiny of the Pennsylvania Line in June, 1783, and the resulting session of the Continental Congress at Princeton do not bulk large in a general survey of the American Revolution; and accordingly writers on that portion of American history have given scarcely more than passing mention to the incidents leading to the flight of Congress from Philadelphia, and almost without exception have dismissed the session at Princeton with few words. But, on the one hand, it would be difficult to find incidents more significant of the times than those which drove Congress from Philadelphia; while, on the other, many of the scenes witnessed at Princeton during the session of Congress were as memorable, and much of the legislation there enacted was as important, as any immediately succeeding the cessation of Revolutionary hostilities. The inside history, moreover, of the efforts made by the various States to influence, in the light of the mutiny, the great debate at Princeton on the federal residence question has never received detailed consideration. The present volume then is, in the first place, an attempt to arrive at a fuller knowledge of the Congressional history of the Summer and Autumn of 1783. Any narrative of that history, however, if it aim at completeness must prove to be the chronicle of an admixture of work and play. For Congressional life at Princeton was so circumstanced by local conditions and Congressmen absorbed so readily the social and academic influences of the genial Jersey village whither they had betaken themselves, that the full story of their daily doings finds itself following a double thread.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A persuasive reassessment of the nature of the institution that was in the forefront of the American revolutionary struggle with Great Britain--the Continental Congress. Providing a completely new perspective on the history of the First and Second Continental Congresses before independence, the author argues that American expectations regarding the proper functions of a legitimate central government were formed under the British monarchy, and that these functions were primarily executive.

Book excerpt: "For four eventful months in the summer and fall of 1783, Princeton served as the meeting place of the Continental Congress and the capital of the new American nation. Driven from Philadelphia by a Continental Army mutiny, Congress moved to Princeton in June of 1783, not long after one of its greatest triumphs - the ratification of a provisional treaty of peace with Great Britain ... Charles Thomson was superbly equipped to chronicle the story of the Continental Congress' stay in Princeton and its often uneasy relationship with the town. Thomson was one of the leaders in the revolutionary struggle against Great Britain in Philadelphia for almost a decade after the Stamp Act Crisis, and from 1774 to 1789 he occupied the strategic position of Secretary to Congress"--Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battles of Trenton and Princeton have been the subject of several recent books, but this story complements them by expanding the story to include the many experiences of the people of Princeton in the wider Revolution and their contributions to it. This story combines social history with the better known military and political history of the Revolution. It does not just deal with amorphous groups and institutions, but rather with individuals working with and affected by various groups on both sides of the conflict. Readers can identify with real people they get to know in the story. This story of Princeton unfolds in narrative format and, while deeply researched, reads more like a novel than an academic study.
