This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Magazine of History With Notes and Queries, 1906, Vol. 4 Pipe band of the 5th Royal Scots of Canada, Highlanders, from Montreal and the Regimental band and a Battalion of the 5th Infantry, U. S. A., from Plattsburgh were the principal features of the parade. It was particularly appropriate that the Royal Scots should be present, as they are allied to the Black Watch and wear the same uniform and in fact are soon to be known as the 3d Battalion of the Black Watch. It was also an education to die thousands of spectators, few, if any of whom had ever seen Highlanders in full regimentals marching to the music of bagpipes. After the exercises of the day, the Royal Scots visited the ruins of old Fort Ticonderoga, about two miles from the village and the picture of a body of Highlanders with their scarlet coats and tartan kilts marching up the green slope of the old ramparts, with die setting sun behind them, was one never to be forgotten and which had probably not occurred before since the Revolution. The officers of the present Black Watch regiment, now stationed at Fort George, Scotland, being advised of the Memorial, sent the following letter to the secretary of die Ticonderoga Historical Society: Dear Sir: Your letter of 9th Sept. 1905, on the subject of a Black Watch Memorial, has been perused by the Commanding Officer and the Officers of the 1st battalion The Black Watch, formerly called the 42d Royal Highland Regiment and it was also submitted and discussed at the Annual Gathering of Black Watch Officers - past and present - recently held in Edinburgh. I am authorized to inform you that all Ranks of the Regiment are proud to know that the Ticonderoga Historical society has decided to appropriate an alcove in the Ticonderoga Free Public Library as a memorial to the 42d Regiment, to commemorate their services in the engagement before Fort Ticonderoga on July 8, 1758. The suggestion contained in your letter, to the effect that Officers of the Regiment might be disposed to erect a tablet on a wall of the Alcove to the memory of the Officers and men of the 42d who were killed or wounded in the action has met with the unanimous approval of those to whose notice it has been brought, and I am to inform you that such a Tablet will gladly be provided and that the work of executing the Tablet will be entrusted to a London firm as soon as a suitable design has been decided upon. In order to assist us in choosing a suitable form of tablet I shall be much obliged if you can favor me with a rough plan of the alcove, the dimensions of the actual wall on which the Tablet will rest, and an idea of the general style of the building. I shall be glad to hear from you as soon as you can conveniently supply the information for which I have asked.

Johnson was, in September, 177 5, at the head of Lake George in command of the army charged with the undertaking. In this force was Col. Ephraim Williams with his Hampshire regiment. To-day is a memorable anniversary. September 8, 1755, I 54 years ago, a French army, under Dieskau, was on the march towards Lake George. Col. Williams was sent out to find the enemy. He fell in the front of the fight that followed, which was so disastrous in numbers slain, that the reconnaissance is known as the Bloody Morning Scout. The day, disastrously begun, ended in the defeat of Dieskau but mingled with rejoicings for the victory was mourning for the fallen.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Magazine of History With Notes and Queries, 1905, Vol. 2 As Radisson wrote in English, a language less familiar to him than his native French, his narration is often very uncouth; but it abounds with homely, apt and forcible expressions, such as could only have been acquired by living with English-speaking people, certainly not merely from school studies or books. It is probable that he had learned this language as a sailor boy on English vessels, before going to Canada; but later, by his life in New England and in the service of Boston merchants during the years from 1661 to 1664, he had doubtless added greatly to his acquaintance with the vernacular.

Download or read book The Court Martial of Paul Revere written by Michael M. Greenburg and published by ForeEdge from University Press of New England. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the height of the American Revolution in 1779, Massachusetts launched the Penobscot Expedition, a massive military and naval undertaking designed to force the British from the strategically important coast of Maine. What should have been an easy victory for the larger American force quickly descended into a quagmire of arguing, disobedience, and failed strategy. In the end, not only did the British retain their stronghold, but the entire flotilla of American vessels was lost in what became the worst American naval disaster prior to Pearl Harbor. In the inevitable finger-pointing that followed the debacle, the already-famous Lieutenant Colonel Paul Revere, commissioned as the expeditionÕs artillery commander, was shockingly charged by fellow officers with neglect of duty, disobeying orders, and cowardice. Though he was not formally condemned by the court of inquiry, rumors still swirled around Boston concerning his role in the disaster, and so the fiery Revere spent the next several years of his life actively pursuing a court-martial, in an effort to resuscitate the one thing he valued above allÑhis reputation. The single event defining Revere to this day is his ride from Charlestown to Lexington on the night of April 18, 1775, made famous by LongfellowÕs poem of 1860. GreenburgÕs is the first book to give a full account of RevereÕs conduct before, during, and after the disastrous Penobscot Expedition, and of his questionable reputation at the time, which only LongfellowÕs poem eighty years later could rehabilitate. Thanks to extensive research and a riveting narrative that brings the battles and courtroom drama to life, The Court-Martial of Paul Revere strips away the myths that surround the Sons of Liberty and reveals the humanity beneath. It is a must-read for anyone who yearns to understand the early days of our country.

It appeared in a volume of poems published in Holland in 1868, and probably loses a good deal of its force through translation into English. The Tarbox article has never before been printed, since its original appearance, and is therefore very scarce. The article by Mr. Forman originally appeared in our prede cessor, the Magazine of American History, in 1887 and is especially valuable as showing the difficulties which beset both the President and Stanton in such cases. The other articles are all of interest and we think the brief Cobden article will he found especially so.
