Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Revolution, Vol. 2 The affair at N ewport was, however, typical of the sporadic fighting of the summer, differing only from the rest in the presence of the French and English fleets, and in the considerable number Of men engaged. The British did nothing effective. They could hold no exten sive country, nor could they control any important mili tary line which would divide and hamper the States. A foray into New Jersey in September and the defeat Of some surprised militia, the burning of shipping at Little Egg Harbor and the wasting Of the neighboring country by Captain Ferguson in October, an Indian raid into Cherry Valley in November, which failed to take the fort, but burned houses and scalped some thirty persons, mostly women and children, completed the sum of Clin ton's military achievements during his first summer of command. When winter came he was again settled in New York, the only place he held, except Newport, while Washington cantoned his men so as to form a line Of de fence from Long Island Sound to West Point and thence south to the Delaware. His head-quarters were at Mid dlebrook, but he held Clinton fast, and permitted him to have nothing but the ground upon which his men camped and which the guns Of the English fleet covered.

Download or read book Stories of the American Revolution Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Everett T. Tomlinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the American Revolution, Vol. 2 A great history does not of necessity always mean a long history. The war of the American Revolution may not be great when it is considered in the light of a war; but it certainly is great as an event. Those heroic struggles of our fore fathers are as worthy of remembrance as the country they bequeathed us is worthy of preserva tion. Indeed, the two in a sense may be said to be joined. The price paid for an article some times enhances the value of the possession in the eyes of the possessor. The education of an American citizen to-day may be said not to be complete without a due appreciation of the aims, struggles, and efforts of those who have bequeath'ed their possessions to us. A heritage has no less value when we realize what it has cost in life and in sacrifice. Our ancestors lifted up a new banner before the gaze of the world. It is ours to hold it up. And no country needs a strong patriotic feeling among its people so much as does a republic. But patriotism, to be valuable, must be intelligent; and there can be no intelligence without knowledge. Inspiration to be patriotic can best be incited by learning of and from those who were themselves patriots. One such man as George Washington is worth more to our land than a horde of men who can only make money. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The American Revolution Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by George Otto Trevelyan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Revolution, Vol. 2 The news of Lexington took Six weeks to reach Eng land, and came by an unusual channel. Massachusetts was eager to have the first word, but careful that that word should be an accurate one. A committee ap pointed by her Provincial Congress held Sittings in the district which had been the scene of hostilities, and took a large mass of evidence on oath. An account of the battle, addressed to the Inhabitants of Great Britain, was drawn up by another committee, over which Joseph Warren himself presided. The narrative was studiously moderate. The successes of the minute-men, and the disasters of the British, were related briefly, and in terms below the truth; as if the writers could not dwell with satisfaction on the details of a conflict between fellow countrymen. Americans, (so it was stated, ) had no quarrel with their sovereign, whose person, family, and crown they, were as willing to defend as ever. But they would face death rather than tamely submit to the persecutions Of a cruel ministry, and looked forward with assured hope to the time when, in a constitutional connection with the mother-country, Englishmen on both Sides of the Atlantic would live, always and all together, as one free, united, and happy people.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literary History of the American Revolution, 1763-1783, Vol. 2 For the two volumes composing the present work, the most natural point of separation has seemed to be the year 1776, - a fact properly enough recorded in the secondary dates placed on the title-page of each. Thus, the chief aim of the first volume is to trace the development of political discontent in the anglo-american colonies from about the year 1763 until the year when that discontent culminated in the resolve for American Independence; while the chief aim of the second volume is to trace the development of the Revolutionary struggle under the altered conditions pro duced by this change in its object and in its character, and to go on with the tale until the year when American In dependence was formally acknowledged by the British government.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2 It is an obvious comment upon the present work, that a story of the American Revolution which stops with the sur render oi Cornwallis and the consequent fall of Lord North's ministry is incomplete. One might reply, in general, that any historical narrative must needs be incomplete wherever it may happen to stop; but on the present occasion a more suitable answer is that the story is continued in my book entitled The Critical Period of American History, the first chapter of which deals with the Results of Yorktown.

A Paradise haunts the dreams of the Historian, as well as of the Lover and the Fool. To glide through happy, laborious years in the eloquent silence of his library, free from the necessity for that ungrateful literary drudgery, from which he escapes only by fits and starts - in feverish haste, the balance and continuity of his ideas well-nigh lost, - to some cherished work, often laid aside, long neglected, and at last almost despaired of; to feel himself, as it were, a lily of the field, neither bound to toil nor spin Solomon-raiment for himself, but only for his thoughts; to enjoy the inestimable boon of scholarly leisure, roaming through archives and collections, with no call to grudge the hours which slip by as one investigation branches off into a hundred equally as enticing, ruminating some doubtful point, or rounding some awkward period in his twilight garden or beside his friendly study fire; to concentrate his every thought upon the magnum opus, towards which all his studies have for years been tending, which he sees daily growing under his pen, big with the promise of future fame; ever busily improving, reviewing, and revising, till shortly he becomes his best, and gives of his best to the world, and of his best only.
