Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War for Independence This book is an attempt on the part of the writer to bring before the minds of the boys and girls of the present some of the deeds of their forefathers, the price that was paid for the liberties which we enjoy. The stories are true. If they shall prove to be inter esting and lead to a more careful reading of the history of the early days, the labor will not have been in vain. More than dates or even facts are the deeds and lives of the heroic men and women who have dared and suffered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War of Independence Government to which they had hitherto owed allegiance, and it was not until Washington's in auguration in 1789 that the supreme government to which we owe allegiance today was actually put in operation. The period of thirteen years included between these two dates was strictly a revolutionary period, during which it was more or less doubtful where the supreme authority over the United States belonged. First, it took the fighting and the diplomacy of the revolutionary war to decide that this supreme authority be longed in the United States themselves, and not in the government of Great Britain; and then after the war was ended, more than five years of sore distress and anxious discussion had elapsed before the American people succeeded in setting up a new government that was strong enough to make itself obeyed at home and respected abroad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Daughter of Freedom: A Story of the Latter Period of the War for Independence Tell her, Beverly, tell her, Mrs. Graham murmured. I am sure my daughter will join her voice with mine in protest. The young man lashed his riding-whip against his boot as he looked down gravely at his little sister. It is but this, Byrd: I have joined our father's friends, and may have to fight against the enemies Of our land. Byrd turned pale, but as she arose to her feet her eyes shone. Don't let us talk Of it before mother, she answered gently. Come, brother, we will go out, and you can tell me Of your plans. It is such a little while her lips quivered and she glanced toward her mother such a little while since father fell, can you wonder at her distress? She whispered, as she slipped her hand in her brother's arm. The young man nodded, and at a word from Byrd, went over and kissed his mother. We will not say any more about it now, mother, he said, and I know you will bid me God-speed when the time comes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from True to the Old Flag: A Tale of the American War of Independence You have probably been accustomed to regard the war between England and her Colonies in America as one in which we were not only beaten but to some extent humiliated. Owing to the war having been an unsuccessful one for our arms, British writers have avoided the subject, and it has been left for American historians to describe. These, writing for their own countrymen, and drawing for their facts upon gazettes, letters, and other documents emanating from one side only, have naturally, and no doubt insensibly, given a very strong colour to their own views of the events, and English writers have been too much inclined to accept their account implicitly. There is, however, another and very different side to the story, and this I have endeavoured to show you. The whole of the facts and details connected with the war can be relied upon as accurate. They are drawn from the valuable account of the struggle written by Major Stedman, who served under Howe, Clinton, and Cornwallis, and from other authentic contemporary sources.

There, throughout the night, the whole park of artillery superintended by Washington in person, played upon the city of Boston, illuminating the sky with arches of fire, and dimming the pale light of the moon. Strange and bewildering was the Spectacle to many of the colonists; for even after an actual warfare of many months, they could not comprehend how brethren of the same race could embrue their hands in each other's blood. Yet the object of Washington was less to annoy the enemy, than to conceal the operations at Dorchester Heights. He succeeded; and on the following day, the British troops beheld, with admiration and astonishment, a series of breast works, which, looming through the morning mist, seemed, in their distorted proportions, to be the work of giants.

Download or read book Here Was the Revolution written by Harlan D. Unrau and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-18 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Here Was the Revolution: Historic Sites of the War for American Independence Part 2, a description of historic sites and buildings associated with the War for Independence, is meant to remind us of the reality and immediacy of America's long struggle to forge a new Nation. Essential as academic learning is, history cannot impress upon one's mind and spirit the feeling that comes from standing in the room where a great event transpired or walking the ground where a momentous battle occurred. Visits to these historic sites cannot fail to enrich our under standing of the forces which molded and shaped the aspirations and ideals of the American colonists during this vital chapter of our national heritage. It is my earnest hope that citizens will use this volume to seek out and visit sites of interest to them, and that they will also encourage individuals, private groups, and State and local governments to unite with the Federal Government in making the increased efforts that are needed so critically today to preserve our historic treasures.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Second War of Independence in America The motive for the publication of The Second War of Independence in America, ' which appeared in January last, was the earnest desire, by means of a short and conscientious exposition of the American question, to correct, as far as possible, the erroneous notions which had been propagated in Germany with regard to this unholy conflict. The attention with which every event in the course of this war is fol lowed, proves how intimately the sympathies and interests of Europe are concerned in it.

The low sandhills were half veiled in a light-gray mist, which drifted down with the wind. The Captain declared he could make out Cape Ann; but though the passengers did their best, all they could honestly say they saw was a darker patch on a bank of gray. As the afternoon wore ou, a white streak could be seen here and there; the Captain said these were lighthouses, and grinned when Miss Digby com pared them to so many statues of Lot's wife.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the War of Independence of the United States of America, Vol. 1 America, and especially some parts of it, havmg been discovered by the genius and intrepidity of Italians, received, at various times, as into a place of asylum, the men whom political or religious dis turbances had driven from their own countries in Europe. The security which these distant and desert regions presented to their minds, appeared to them preferable even to the endearments of country and of their natal air. Here they exerted themselves with admirable industry and forti tude, according to the custom of those whom the fervor of Opinion agitates and stimulates, in subduing the wild beasts, dispersing or destroying pernicious or importunate animals, repressing or subject ing the barbarous and savage nations that inhabited this New World, draining the marshes, controlling the course of rivers, clearing the forests, furrowing a virgin soil, and committing to its bosom new and unaccustomed seeds; and thus prepared themselves a climate less rude and hostile to human nature, more secure and more commo' dious habitations, more salubrious food, and a part of the conve niences and enjoyments proper to civilized life.
