Book excerpt: Major-General Edward Braddock's 2 orderly books, containing orders issued by Braddock in Virginia and Fort Cumberland (Md.) to the commanding officers of his troops between Feb. 26 and June 17, 1755, at the outset of the French and Indian War. The early orders by Braddock, general and commander-in-chief of the English forces in North America, were issued from Williamsburg, and concern logistical, administrative, and disciplinary matters of the army. Subsequent orders organize troop movements from Alexandria to Winchester (Va.), to Frederick (Md.), and to Rock Creek. An order of May 10, 1755 notes that "Mr. Washington is appointed Aid de Camp to His Excellency General Braddock," and court-martials, and sentences handed down for theft, desertion, alcohol consumption, gaming, and other infractions are also recorded. Other orders regulate supplies and provisions, and the presence of women among the troops.
Book Synopsis Ill-Starred General by : Lee McCardell
Download or read book Ill-Starred General written by Lee McCardell and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rare combination of documented fact and good storytelling, Ill-Starred General is the biography of a much maligned man from one of history’s most vital eras. The career of Edward Braddock began during the court intrigues of Queen Anne and George I, gained momentum in continental military campaigns in the early 1750s, and ended abruptly in the rout of his American army near present-day Pittsburgh in 1755. This highly acclaimed biography reveals the man—and the politics—behind his defeat, one of the major setbacks to British imperial power in the American colonies. “Braddock was the first English general that Americans had ever seen in action, and although he lost his life fighting for them, they detested him...What [McCardell] has done is to replace a historical puppet with a credible human being, and...to explain how a carefully planned colonial expedition can go wrong.”—Naomi Bliven, The New Yorker “The breadth, depth and care of McCardell’s research on Ill-Starred General are amazing and delightful. He has labored with that fidelity which every honest historian must display and with that luck which crowns the efforts of the fortunate.”—George Swetnam, Pittsburgh Press “A first-rate biography.”—Lynn Montross, New York Times “A genial and readable interpretation that will revivify an important figure in early American history. It is the kind of well-documented book that will appeal to both the general reader and the historian.”—W. R. Jacobs, American Historical Review

Book Synopsis Braddock At The Monongahela by : Paul Kopperman
Download or read book Braddock At The Monongahela written by Paul Kopperman and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2014-07-12 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 9, 1755, an army of British and American soldiers commanded by Major General Edward Braddock marched toward a major western outpost held by the French, confident of an easy victory. Suddenly, they were attacked by a much smaller force of French and Indian fighters-Braddock's army was destroyed, its commander fatally wounded, and supplies and secret papers were lost to the enemy. Paul E. Kopperman has used all of the known eyewitness reports of Braddock's defeat-some never before printed-to present an exciting critical account of this definitive battle in the French and Indian War. Braddock at the Monongahela is a synthesis of in-depth analysis of primary source materials, thoughtful evaluation of previous studies on the subject, and Kopperman's own persuasive interpretation.

Book Synopsis On Campaign Against Fort Duquesne by : Douglas R. Cubbison
Download or read book On Campaign Against Fort Duquesne written by Douglas R. Cubbison and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Seven Years' War, Sir John St. Clair served as Deputy Quartermaster General with British General Edward Braddock's disastrous campaign to capture Fort Duquesne at the Forks of the Ohio in 1755. St. Clair had great responsibilities during the campaign and was the first Deputy Quartermaster General in North America's history. History has laid a litany of blame at Braddock's feet: he was old, slow, logistically naive, a martinet poorly versed in tactics, uninterested in his soldiers' welfare and unwilling to cooperate with the colonists. Based on a new transcription of St. Clair's correspondence, this comprehensive study of Braddock's logistics offers a radical reinterpretation of the general and his campaign. The author also presents an examination of St. Clair's role as quartermaster during Brigadier General John Forbes' subsequent and successful campaign against Fort Duquesne in 1758.

Book Synopsis Atlantic Politics, Military Strategy and the French and Indian War by : Richard Hall
Download or read book Atlantic Politics, Military Strategy and the French and Indian War written by Richard Hall and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1755 marked the point at which events in America ceased to be considered subsidiary affairs in the great international rivalry that existed between the colonial powers of Great Britain and France. This book examines the Braddock Campaign of 1755, a segment of the wider ‘Braddock Plan’ that aimed to drive the French from all of the contested regions they occupied in North America. Rather than being an archetypal military history-styled analysis of General Edward Braddock’s foray into the Ohio Valley, this work will argue that British defeat at the infamous Battle of the Monongahela should be viewed as one that ultimately embodied military, political and diplomatic divergences and weaknesses within the British Atlantic World of the eighteenth century. These factors, in turn, hinted at growing schisms in the empire that would lead to the breakup of British North America in the 1770s and the birth of the future United States. Such an interpretation moves away from the conclusion so often advanced that Braddock’s Defeat was a distinctly, and principally ‘British’, martial catastrophe; hence allowing the outcome of this pivotal event in American history to be understood in a different vein than has hitherto been apparent.
Book Synopsis Empire And Others by : Professor M Daunton
Download or read book Empire And Others written by Professor M Daunton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about the forging of a British identity in the 17th and 18th centuries, from the multiple kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland. But the process also ran across the Irish sea and was played out in North America and the Caribbean. In the process, the indigenous peoples of North America, the Caribbean, the Cape, Australia and New Zealand were forced to redefine their identities. This text integrates the history of these areas with British and imperial history. With contributions from both sides of the Atlantic, each chapter deals with a different aspect of British encounters with indigenous peoples in Colonial America and includes, for example, sections on "Native Americans and Early Modern Concepts of Race" and "Hunting and the Politics of Masculinity in Cherokee treaty-making, 1763-1775". This book should be of particular interest to postgraduate students of Colonial American history and early modern British history.
