Book Synopsis Siege of Fort Cumberland, 1776 by : Ernest Clarke
Download or read book Siege of Fort Cumberland, 1776 written by Ernest Clarke and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1995-11-30 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clarke describes events in Nova Scotia leading up to the siege of Fort Cumberland by the Continental army in 1776 and argues that from the beginning of hostilities Nova Scotians' primary loyalty was to Britain. He examines the attitudes of the various players in the region - New England planters, Acadians, Native peoples, Yorkshiremen, and Scots-Irish - and their responses to the call to arms issued by the revolutionary forces in the thirteen colonies. Clarke is the first to take the Nova Scotia patriots seriously and explain their motives instead of damning them as rebels. An in-depth study of a British colony's reaction to and ultimate rejection of independence, The Siege of Fort Cumberland will be of great interest to colonial historians in Canada and the United States.
Download or read book Fort Cumberland written by Lannie Dietle and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This author continues to break new ground in understanding the French and Indian War. In a two-volume work that replaces his "Fort Cumberland: The Missing Years," Lannie Dietle's incisive understanding of early European exploration of the Allegheny region is certain to expand any reader's knowledge of transportation patterns, military movements and early commercial initiatives in the Mid Atlantic colonies of Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania. The book is extensively footnoted from original source materials and makes use of original maps and diagrams of America's first western frontier. Volume 2 covers the time period following Braddock's Defeat through the end of the American Revolution. Mr. Dietle's work in documenting uses of the fort in written correspondence during the French and Indian War and subsequent uses of the site prior to the founding of the City of Cumberland is complete and unique, making it likely this publication will become the definitive source on the subject. Fort Cumberland was the site of George Washington's first and last military commands and this book does justice to the details of its creation and nearly constant modification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1755, Fort Cumberland was at the cusp of three empires: the British, the French, and the Iroquois. It was the westernmost outpost of the British Empire in North America. Built at the confluence of Will's Creek and the Potomac by Virginia, North Carolina, and Maryland Militia, the fort became untenable after the Braddock defeat, and the western boundary of Empire was pulled back to the safety of Fort Frederick. West of the fort was disputed territory, leading into New France. The Native American peoples wanted both the French and the British to go home. They began to organize into large federations of tribes to better deal with the invaders from across the seas. Fort Cumberland was attached by Indian forces, but relieved. It saw no action in the Revolutionary War, but served as the staging area for troops deployed under Washington in the Whiskey Rebellion in Western Pennsylvania. This book has an extensive set of references to material relevant to the history, construction, and use of Fort Cumberland. It outlines the historical context of the Fort.
Download or read book Cumberland written by Amanda Paul and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003-10-22 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Settled on the banks of the Potomac River, Cumberland has watched time and progress stream through since its days as a fort in the colonial wilderness. Ascending the throne as the "Queen of the Alleghenies," the town became an essential transportation and industrial hub throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Serving as the starting point for the National Road, the western terminus of the C&O Canal, and an important link along the B&O and Western Maryland Railroads, Cumberland attracted dozens of industries that churned out glass, textiles, tires, and even local brews. Prosperity and growth began to reshape the town, and soon distinct neighborhoods found their own identities while maintaining their strong links to Cumberland as a whole. Despite a post-war decline in its industrial sector, Cumberland continues to be a vibrant town of hardworking people who remain proud of their rich heritage and traditions. Selected from a variety of local sources, photographs in Images of America: Cumberland offer unique and memorable views of the people and places that have defined Cumberland over the past 150 years.
