Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Family Letters of Samuel Blachley Webb: 1764 1807 Penalties without the rewards of bravery and devotion to duty. Webb's own regiment came to speak of the hated Highlands, the most important military position of the North, but where a regiment grew rusty in garrison, and neither saw nor felt the stimulating service that marches and fighting give. Discipline was maintained, but it was a tiresome routine, offering little variety and broken only by a court martial or a foraging expedition. Besides, pay was low, was not regular, and often stood in heavy arrears; but expenses continued and the situation of the officers became worse each year. Even with the main army, where the heaviest demands were made upon the troops, victories were few and of little importance, the regular duties were exacting, and the Spirit of the men was kept at a low ebb because of the uncertainty of the future. The private no longer came into service flushed with patri otic ardor for the cause and intent upon redressing Wrongs which he felt and against which he had taken arms. He came under the bribe of a bounty and had only a little in terest in doing more than the army regulations required. This was as true of the New England troops as of those from other States. In a few years the tone of the army had changed for the worse; it required a few more years of hardship and intense suffering and sacrifice to produce the army that closed the war, an army of which any people could be proud, and a body of officers and men that in peace proved their high ideals and their worth to the Union as fully as they had proved their qualities in war.

Download or read book 1776 written by David McCullough and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2005-05-24 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America’s beloved and distinguished historian presents, in a book of breathtaking excitement, drama, and narrative force, the stirring story of the year of our nation’s birth, 1776, interweaving, on both sides of the Atlantic, the actions and decisions that led Great Britain to undertake a war against her rebellious colonial subjects and that placed America’s survival in the hands of George Washington. In this masterful book, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence—when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper. Based on extensive research in both American and British archives, 1776 is a powerful drama written with extraordinary narrative vitality. It is the story of Americans in the ranks, men of every shape, size, and color, farmers, schoolteachers, shoemakers, no-accounts, and mere boys turned soldiers. And it is the story of the King’s men, the British commander, William Howe, and his highly disciplined redcoats who looked on their rebel foes with contempt and fought with a valor too little known. Written as a companion work to his celebrated biography of John Adams, David McCullough’s 1776 is another landmark in the literature of American history.

Download or read book The Department of War 1781 1795 written by Harry M. Ward and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harry M. Ward examines the formative years of the Department of War as a microcosm of the development of a centralized federal government. The Department of War was unique among early government agencies, as the only office that continued under the same administrator from the time of the Confederation to government under the Constitution. After the peace was established with Britain, citizens were suspicious of keeping a standing army, but administrator Benjamin Lincoln's efficient administration did much to dispel their fears. Henry Knox was the second Secretary, and he faced the problem of maintaining peace on the frontier, as his tiny army twice lost battles with Indians. It was only after the Whiskey Rebellion and Shay's Rebellion, that the young nation fully comprehended the importance of a maintaining a national military.

John Adams is the magisterial, Pulitzer Prize–winning biography of the independent, irascible Yankee patriot, one of our nation’s founders and most important figures, who became our second president. The Johnstown Flood is the classic history of an American tragedy that became a scandal in the age of the Robber Barons, the preventable flood that destroyed a town and killed 2,000 people. Mornings on Horseback is the brilliant National Book Award–winning biography of young Theodore Roosevelt’s metamorphosis from sickly child to a vigorous, intense man poised to become a national hero and then president. Path Between the Seas is the epic National Book Award–winning history of the heroic successes, tragic failures, and astonishing engineering and medical feats that made the Panama Canal possible. Truman is the Pulitzer Prize–winning biography of Harry Truman, the complex and courageous man who rose from modest origins to make momentous decisions as president, from dropping the atomic bomb to going to war in Korea. A special bonus is included: The Course of Human Events. In this Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities, David McCullough draws on his personal experience as a historian to acknowledge the crucial importance of writing in history’s enduring impact and influence, and he affirms the significance of history in teaching us about human nature through the ages.
Download or read book Silas Deane Revolutionary War Diplomat and Politician written by Milton C. Van Vlack and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silas Deane was the victim of one of the most vicious character assassination conspiracies ever carried out in the Revolutionary War era. Even after almost two and a half centuries, he remains in the eyes of many modern historians, "worse than Arnold," his boyhood friend. This is very wrong. Because Deane was such a capable individual in his endeavors very early in the war, he became the political target of envious others with quite different abilities and philosophies. Even so, his political strength kept growing and in 1776 Congress appointed him America's first secret agent to secure military supplies from France for Washington's army. This biography is written on the man himself and on the malicious and largely successful lies and intrigues by his rivals. The work does not downplay the contributions of his contemporaries, especially those of his close friend throughout, Benjamin Franklin, but shows exactly where specific credit should be placed. A lot of credit for the new nation's success belongs to him.
