Download or read book McDowell's Mill Fort in Markes, Pennsylvania, 1753-1840 written by Pamela Bakker and published by Sunbury Press. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bakker painstakingly reconstructs McDowell Mills Fort using information in the Pennsylvania State Archives' Colonial Records, Minutes of the Assembly, colonial tax records, surveys, regional histories and more, often through the voices of those living in the region. The Governor of Pennsylvania stockaded the pre-existing mill and named it a Chief Fort to hold the Penn Colony's supplies for British General Braddock's campaign against the French in the Pittsburg area. A road was constructed from that site west. When that campaign failed, the settlers were left defenseless as British troops retreated, and they were forced to organize themselves into militia to form a line of defense for the western part of the colony along the Appalachian Mountains. The fort stood through the burning of farms and fields, assaults by western Indian bands led by French officers; Pontiac's warriors during his rebellion; regional starvation and distress; the Black Boy's assault on nearby British Fort Loudon, long before events at Boston; and the Revolutionary War with a number of men who had served at the fort enlisted as officers in the Continental Army through the entire length of that war, including the miller who became a Lieutenant/surgeon recorded at places like the Valley Forge encampment. The fort was razed in 1840 and only state markers remain.Bakker helps the reader see the growing pressure in Pennsylvania as colonists interacted with their seemingly indifferent pacifistic Quaker Assembly; sister colonies who fought for Pennsylvania land; British Parliament as they levied taxes to recover losses incurred from their fight with the French; dissatisfied Native American tribes forced to submit to land deals brokered by a confederation in which they had no voice; and African slaves worked long hours under bondage to help colonists prosper. It is a story of perseverance and passion as people struggled to achieve the American dream through seemingly insurmountable odds.

Book Synopsis American Military History Volume 1 by : Army Center of Military History
Download or read book American Military History Volume 1 written by Army Center of Military History and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-05 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Military History provides the United States Army-in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets-with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published this work in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. Since then it has gone through a number of updates and revisions, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point the most recent edition ended, has been a significant one for the Army, a busy period of expanding roles and missions and of fundamental organizational changes. In particular, the explosion of missions and deployments since 11 September 2001 has necessitated the creation of additional, open-ended chapters in the story of the U.S. Army in action. This first volume covers the Army's history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. By 1917, the United States was already a world power. The Army had sent large expeditionary forces beyond the American hemisphere, and at the beginning of the new century Secretary of War Elihu Root had proposed changes and reforms that within a generation would shape the Army of the future. But world war-global war-was still to come. The second volume of this new edition will take up that story and extend it into the twenty-first century and the early years of the war on terrorism and includes an analysis of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq up to January 2009.
