I/-alb was prepared to leave at once, if his appearance J" in camp should give rise to disagreeable remarks, or his reception should be other than a cheerful one. But, being cordially welcomed by all the American officers, he assumed the command, in the early part of November, of a division assigned him, which was formed of New England regiments." He was assailed, however, by the petty envy of the Irishman Conway. This brigadier, who subsequently acquired an unenviable prominence in the annals of the American revolution by the cabal, already inaugurated, and since designated by his name, felt himself injured and foreshortened in his claims by the appointment of Kalb as major-general. Although, like the latter, he had quitted the French service with the rank of brigadier, he endeavored to make it appear that he had fornferly been Kalb's superior officer, and was now unjustly subordinate to him. "It is with exquisite concern," writes Conway complainingly to Congress," "that I find myself slighted and forgot, when you have offered rank to persons who cost you a great deal of money, and have never rendered you the least service. Baron de Kalb, to whom you have offered the rank of Major-General, is my inferior in France." And thus he proceeded to utter his complaints and objections, winding up with a demand of a major-general's commission. He approached Washington in the same manner; but the latter knew his man too well to be influenced by threats, and coolly repelled his advances. Nevertheless, by the aid of powerful friends in Congress, and in the teeth

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of John Kalb: Major-General in the Revolutionary Army All these gentlemen are requested to accept my heartfelt thanks for the friendship thus extended. In the office of the Secretary of State at Washington I had no difficulty in obtaining the consent of General Cass to my taking copies of letters and documents relating to the subject of this memoir. Under the administration of Mr. Seward, several excerpts from a volume containing the De Kalb and the Du Coudray papers were withheld from me on the ground that they were deemed not relevant to my subject. A written demonstration to the contrary, which I furnished, received no attention. On the whole, no change has taken place in the narrow-minded jealousy with which the revolutionary documents are guarded in Washington, any more than in the neglected early education of the gentle men who guard them. The unsophisticated views of these worthy functionaries on matters of historical interest are without a parallel in the present century. The following correspondence took place between the State Department and myself in relation to this subject.

Download or read book Liberty s Fallen Generals written by Steven E. Siry and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From June 1775 to February 1781, during the American War of Independence, ten patriot generals died as a result of combat wounds. Their service and deaths spanned most of the wars duration and geographical expanse. The generals were a diverse group, with six born in America and four in Europe, three coming from professional military backgrounds, and the rest citizen-soldiers, mostly with limited military experience. As the colonists won their independence, the fallen generals became martyrs for the revolutionary ideals that would inspire later generations throughout the world. Libertys Fallen Generals is the first book to analyze these key military leaders service and the quality of their leadership in light of recent scholarship on the Revolutionary War. Each generals profile provides background on military and political events leading to his emergence, assesses the general as a military leader in the war, and examines the campaign that culminated in his battle-related death. A compelling study in leadership and sacrifice, Libertys Fallen Generals is essential reading for those interested in learning more about Americas earliest heroes.
Download or read book Washington s Revolutionary War Generals written by Stephen R. Taaffe and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2019-10-03 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Revolutionary War began, Congress established a national army and appointed George Washington its commander in chief. Congress then took it upon itself to choose numerous subordinate generals to lead the army’s various departments, divisions, and brigades. How this worked out in the end is well known. Less familiar, however, is how well Congress’s choices worked out along the way. Although historians have examined many of Washington’s subordinates, Washington’s Revolutionary War Generals is the first book to look at these men in a collective, integrated manner. A thoroughgoing study of the Revolutionary War careers of the Continental Army’s generals—their experience, performance, and relationships with Washington and the Continental Congress—this book provides an overview of the politics of command, both within and outside the army, and a unique perspective on how it affected Washington’s prosecution of the war. It is impossible to understand the outcome of the War for Independence without first examining America’s military leadership, author Stephen R. Taaffe contends. His description of Washington’s generals—who they were, how they received their commissions, and how they performed—goes a long way toward explaining how these American officers, who were short on experience and military genius, prevailed over their professional British counterparts. Following these men through the war’s most important battles and campaigns as well as its biggest controversies, such as the Conway Cabal and the Newburgh Conspiracy, Taaffe weaves a narrative in the grand tradition of military history. Against this backdrop, his depiction of the complexities and particulars of character and politics of military command provides a new understanding of George Washington, the War for Independence, and the U.S. military’s earliest beginnings. A unique combination of biography and institutional history shot through with political analysis, this book is a thoughtful, deeply researched, and an eminently readable contribution to the literature of the Revolution.
