Download or read book I Was a Teenager in the American Revolution written by Elizabeth Ryan Metz and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2006-04-13 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teenagers were critical to the American victory in the Revolutionary War. Over half of the colonial population was under the age of 16. A draft of all boys between the ages of 16 and 19 was enacted to fill the ranks of the Continental Army, leaving their sisters to fill their places at home. These circumstances meant that teenagers played an essential role not only in combat but also on the home front. Israel Trask joined the militia at the age of 10; by the time he turned 12 he was serving at sea. Abigail Foote, a 15-year-old from Connecticut, wove cloth, sewed clothes, weeded the garden and made cheese, providing much needed clothing and food. Henry Yeager, 13, barely escaped hanging for his army role as drummer. Dicey Langston, 16 when the war began, risked her life to pass loyalist information to the Patriots. Future president Andrew Jackson was only 14 when he was captured and sent to jail at Camden. This book relates the Revolutionary War experiences of 23 teenagers. Drawing on firsthand accounts of young Americans from Massachusetts to South Carolina and from many different backgrounds--wealthy and poor, slave and free, Tory and Patriot--it provides a fascinating, varied look at America's fight for independence and teenagers' role in this struggle for liberty. Excerpts from journals and memoirs make up the body of the text. Appendices provide a chronology of events and a glossary of sailing terms.
Download or read book Hillbilly Nationalists Urban Race Rebels and Black Power written by Amy Sonnie and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2011 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historians of the late 1960s have emphasised the work of a small group of white college activists and the Black Panthers, activists who courageously took to the streets to protest the war in Vietnam and continuing racial inequality. Poor and working-class whites have tended to be painted as spectators, reactionaries and even racists. Tracy and Amy Sonnie have been interviewing activists from the 1960s for nearly 10 years and here reject this narrative, showing how working-class whites, inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, fought inequality in the 1960s.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXXII. CONCLUSION. So ended the famous invasion of John Burgoyne. The campaign, upon which he had entered with such high hopes, had brought him only loss and ruin. Its effects upon the struggling nation were at once marked and marvellous, and a new hope seemed to possess all. The Tories in the region lost heart, and the Whigs became correspondingly elated. The Continentals had been able to withstand the well-trained European soldiers, and their generals had proven themselves more than a match for the leaders from across the sea. General Schuyler had returned to the camp and, great-hearted man that he was, displayed no pettiness, now that the victory had been won by another; although he must have known what we all know now, that his own labors and plans had been the foundation of it all. The British soldiers all unite in declaring that they were treated with respect by the American soldiers, as well as by their leaders. The wives of the generals came from Saratoga, where they had been in dire suspense and danger and had taken refuge for days in cellars. The Baroness de Riedesel has left an account of it all, and her letters, we can assure our readers, are as interesting as they are valuable, and are well worth the time and study of all who are interested in this period of our nation's history. A dinner followed the surrender, and the baroness describes the kindness with which General Schuyler not only provided for her comfort, but invited herself, her husband, and children to become his guests at Albany. Burgoyne was there in the same capacity, also, for some days, and he, too, bears witness to the gentle spirit and courteous treatment which General Schuyler and his wife gave them. The British general appreciated his treatment the...

Download or read book A Young Patriot written by Jim Murphy and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 1996 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1776, Joseph Plumb Martin was a fifteen-year-old Connecticut farm boy who considered himself as warm a patriot as the best of them. He enlisted that July and stayed in the revolutionary army until hostilities ended in 1783. Martin fought under Washington, Lafayette, and Steuben. He took part in major battles in New York, Monmouth, and Yorktown. He wintered at Valley Forge and then at Morristown, considered even more severe. He wrote of his war years in a memoir that brings the American Revolution alive with telling details, drama, and a country boy's humor. Jim Murphy lets Joseph Plumb Martin speak for himself throughout the text, weaving in historical backfround details wherever necessary, giving voice to a teenager who was an eyewitness to the fight that set America free from the British Empire.

Book excerpt: As an adult, John Audubon was the best known wildlife artist of the 19th century, and his book, Birds of America, is the standard against which all subsequent bird art has been measured.
