Book Synopsis Yorktown Victory Monument, The by : Maria G. Hepner
Download or read book Yorktown Victory Monument, The written by Maria G. Hepner and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1781, American independence was achieved on the battlefields of Yorktown, Virginia--a glorious event that the Continental Congress determined was worthy of a monument. Moving at the speed of government, it took one hundred years to act on this resolution. In that time, Yorktown had to come to terms with its role as a site of preservation rather than a center of industry or commerce. The story of the development and preservation of The Monument to Alliance and Victory at Yorktown is a tangle of government, military, artists, historians and forces of nature. Local author Maria Hepner explores the story of this monument and the town that surrounds it.

Download or read book Yorktown written by Kathleen Manley and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-13 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1750, the deepwater port of Yorktown housed approximately 250–300 businesses, with as many as 2,000 people thriving in the small town. By 1781, the Revolutionary War’s final siege had been staged, and the British were caught without resources to win the final battle against the American and Allied forces. Freedom was won for America, but Yorktown would continue to see war. In 1862, the Peninsula Campaign of the Civil War led to a monthlong battle near the site of the previous conflict. In 1917, World War I brought the embarkation of the Atlantic Fleet, and within a few decades, World War II would change Yorktown and the nation forever. These historic postcards portray the first family houses, the churches, the courthouses, the military, the battlefields, and the commemorative memorials of the area, showing the town’s progression through time, from the 18th century through the present day.

Book Synopsis March to Victory: Washington, Rochambeau, and the Yorktown Campaign of 1781 by :
Download or read book March to Victory: Washington, Rochambeau, and the Yorktown Campaign of 1781 written by and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2010-11-29 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides an in-depth account of the Battle of Yorktown in 1781, the most decisive operation of the American Revolution. Author Dr. Robert Selig examines how the Americans and French moved land and naval forces from Rhode Island to Virginia, where they gained the tactical advantage over their opponents at Yorktown. Although the allied forces quickly surrounded the British army on their arrival at Yorktown, the ensuing siege would not have been as successful if the march from Rhode Island to Virginia had not gone as planned. The movement to Yorktown was complex because it had a combined (French and American) as well as joint (land and naval) aspect. French and American military commanders had to overcome formidable barriers of culture, language, tactical doctrine (American and French forces operated under different sets of war-fighting rules), and national political agendas. No one forgot that a mere fifteen years before Yorktown, the American colonists had seen the French and their American Indian allies as implacable enemies. This work conveys not only how allied commanders overcame these formidable obstacles, but also shows how the march itself solidified American communities along the route and paved the way for a decisive victory at Yorktown and, ultimately, the creation of an independent American republic. Teachers and students would find this book to be useful when learning about the American Revolution, as well as military members and Veterans and members of the general public interested in the history of the American Revolution and its pivotal battles and military leaders.

Book Synopsis A History of Yorktown and Its Victory Celebrations by : Kathleen Manley
Download or read book A History of Yorktown and Its Victory Celebrations written by Kathleen Manley and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 19, 1781, General Cornwallis surrendered his British Army to the combined American and French forces at Yorktown, Virginia. Beyond the ending of hostilities this act came to represent the close of British colonial rule and the dawn of America's ascent as an independent country and eventual world power. Although the events of this revolutionary time are now the foundation of an evolving American history, it is still important to remember the sacrifice and victory of these early patriots. Revival to Patriotism: A History of Yorktown and its Victory Celebrations chronicles the history of Yorktown, Virginia, and the victory celebrations that have been undertaken through the generations to remember this historic time in America's infancy. Written in engaging prose, Revival to Patriotism, by local Yorktown author Kathleen Manley presents for the first time the history of this remarkable city from the first celebration in 1824 with the return of General Lafayette through to the 200th anniversary in 1981, commemorating America's Revolutionary victory.
