Book Synopsis Pennsylvania Revolutionary War Sites by : Charolette Huebschman
Download or read book Pennsylvania Revolutionary War Sites written by Charolette Huebschman and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everybody knows that American soldiers suffered terribly during the winter the Continental Army spent at Valley Forge. Few recall that Brigadier General Anthony Wayne couldn't get Pennsylvania political officials to provide suitable clothing for the troops of the Pennsylvania Line although he repeatedly documented that hundreds of men lacked even "a single rag of a shirt." With the sesquicentennial of the American Revolution on the horizon, this book delves deeply into contemporary accounts of the times that so severely tried the souls of Rebels and Tories alike. The author paints a surprisingly fresh picture of the era. His true stories range from the eastern cities to the rustic frontier. There's a common misconception that the American Revolutionary War pretty much ended when the British surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781. Not true. More than eight months later, a force of Indians and British burned the western Pennsylvania settlement of Hannastown, then the Westmoreland County seat. The town was never rebuilt.

Book excerpt: Valley Forge is a name that resonates in the minds of many Americans. As the site of the 1777-1778 encampment of the Continental army during the Revolutionary War, it has come to symbolize determination and triumph. While many people know something revolutionary happened in Valley Forge, they do not understand how or why it became a place of remembrance today. Using the rich historical collections of the National Center for the American Revolution and Valley Forge Historical Society, Valley Forge shares the early-twentieth-century history of the area through nearly two hundred images, the majority of which are published for the first time.Valley Forge offers a variety of historical views and background into the site that became Pennsylvania's first state park. Highlights include Washington's Headquarters and the patriotic and inspiring Washington Memorial Chapel, as well as Revolutionary War artifacts that have found a home in Valley Forge. Thousands of books exist on the history of the American War for Independence, but few describe the events and people who have struggled to preserve that story of independence for people everywhere, as Valley Forge does.

Download or read book Brandywine written by Michael Harris and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Brandywine Creek calmly meanders through the Pennsylvania countryside today, but on September 11, 1777, it served as the scenic backdrop for the largest battle of the American Revolution, one that encompassed more troops over more land than any combat fought on American soil until the Civil War. Long overshadowed by the stunning American victory at Saratoga, the complex British campaign that defeated George WashingtonÕs colonial army and led to the capture of the capital city of Philadelphia was one of the most important military events of the war. Michael C. HarrisÕs impressive Brandywine: A Military History of the Battle that Lost Philadelphia but Saved America, September 11, 1777, is the first full-length study of this pivotal engagement in many years. General Sir William Howe launched his campaign in late July 1777, when he loaded his army of 16,500 British and Hessian soldiers aboard a 265-ship armada in New York and set sail. Six difficult weeks later HoweÕs expedition landed near Elkton, Maryland, and moved north into Pennsylvania. WashingtonÕs rebel army harassed HoweÕs men at several locations including a minor but violent skirmish at CoochÕs Bridge in Delaware on September 3. Another week of hit-and-run tactics followed until Howe was within three miles of ChadsÕs Ford on Brandywine Creek, behind which Washington had posted his army in strategic blocking positions along a six-mile front. The young colonial capital of Philadelphia was just 25 miles farther east. Obscured by darkness and a heavy morning fog, General Howe initiated his plan of attack at 5:00 a.m. on September 11, pushing against the American center at ChadsÕs Ford with part of his army while the bulk of his command swung around WashingtonÕs exposed right flank to deliver his coup de main, destroy the colonials, and march on Philadelphia. Warned of HoweÕs flanking attack just in time, American generals turned their divisions to face the threat. The bitter fighting on Birmingham Hill drove the Americans from the field, but their heroic defensive stand saved WashingtonÕs army from destruction and proved that the nascent Continental foot soldiers could stand toe-to-toe with their foe. Although fighting would follow, Philadelphia fell to HoweÕs legions on September 26. HarrisÕs Brandywine is the first complete study to merge the strategic, political, and tactical history of this complex operation and important set-piece battle into a single compelling account. More than a decade in the making, his sweeping prose relies almost exclusively upon original archival research and his personal knowledge of the terrain. Enhanced with original maps, illustrations, and modern photos, and told largely through the words of those who fought there, Brandywine will take its place as one of the most important military studies of the American Revolution ever written."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the birthplace of America, Pennsylvania is home to some of the most well-known locations from the Revolutionary War including Independence Hall, Valley Forge and Washington Crossing. However, there are also many lesser-known sites that were influential in our fight for independence. In this book, you will have more knowledge about this war through the author, who chronicles how the troops devoted much more time to laying waste to cornfields than they did to fighting Iroquois warriors. He said, "heir whole country has been overrun and laid waste". In the end, many more Indians starved during the following winter than were killed in battle with Sullivan's soldiers.
Book Synopsis No Spot in This Far Land Is More Immortalized by : Peter Osborne
Download or read book No Spot in This Far Land Is More Immortalized written by Peter Osborne and published by . This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Christmas night 1776 George Washington and twenty-four hundred men stepped off from the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River to cross the icy waterway. They went on to win a decisive victory at Trenton, New Jersey, and then later at Princeton. The battles changed the course of the Revolutionary War. The first official efforts to memorialize the heroic event began in Pennsylvania in 1895. A park commission was created in 1917, and they formally dedicated the park in 1921. The park includes the historic shoreline, the McConkey Ferry Inn and Thompson-Neely House. Both buildings played a role in that fateful evening. Over the years millions of visitors have come to the park and contemplated the Crossing, the famed painting of Washington Crossing The Delaware by Emanuel Leutze, picnicked on the grounds, played on the sports fields, and walked their dogs. Visitors have also enjoyed the beauty of the Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve, and climbed to the top of the Bowman's Hill Observation Tower. Find out why this park is one of the jewels in the crown of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission's historic sites.

Book Synopsis Things You Should Research On 1780 by : Mirta Lymon
Download or read book Things You Should Research On 1780 written by Mirta Lymon and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-02 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Iroquois Indians settled in western New York sided with the British in 1779, the fifth year of the American Revolution. Their war parties raided colonial towns in Pennsylvania and New York regularly. General George Washington sent an army commanded by General John Sullivan to occupy the Iroquois homeland as a form of retaliation. Sullivan set fire to their villages and plantations, and Washington assumed the Iroquois had been compelled to leave the battle. Washington, on the other hand, had miscalculated: Sullivan had just stung a hornet's nest. The author draws on first-person accounts, letters, and depositions to bring these events to life. In researching the topic, he visited many of the sites of forts and skirmishes described in the book.
