A Paragraph History of the American Revolution (Classic Reprint) by Edward Abbott Pdf

Excerpt from A Paragraph History of the American Revolution This little book extends to the American Revo lution the method which, in A Paragraph History of the United States, was applied to the history of the continent and nation entire. To those who are familiar with the struggle of the Colonies for independence, it will perhaps seem more remark able for what it omits than useful for what it con tains. But it is not intended for those who are familiar with that struggle for such rather as have never read a history proper, or who have heard only by chance and uncertain mention what our country's fathers did, and in these busy cen tennial times have only moments by the way in which to trace the outline. I hear that the Para graph History of the United States has gone into a school here and there as a text-book: possibly this, too, may serve as an incentive and directory to that broader, deeper, fuller study which should hold a first place in the attention of every Ameri can, old and young.

Domestic History of the American Revolution (Classic Reprint) by Ellet Pdf

Excerpt from Domestic History of the American Revolution To guard against misapprehension, it is proper to say, that in this attempt to present in a new and interesting light the history of our struggle for national existence, there is nothing of fanciful embellishment. I hold in just aversion the to mancing trash under which, at the present day, the simple and picturesque - because simple - realities of our American story seem in danger of being buried. Not only has no aid of fiction been employed, but no traditional matter has been introduced, unless sustained by indisputable authority.

Excerpt from The American Revolution: Including Also the Beauties of American History Tm: following Anecdotes were principally selected by a youth of twelve years of age. Having had constant ao cess to a library well supplied with books on History and Biography, he early acquired a taste for reading such works; and the present small volume is one of the results of such an attention to this species of literature. The selection was made at intervals between hours of devotion to elementary and classical study and may hence be viewed as having been rather an amusement, than a l-abo1 of painful toil and research.

Excerpt from A History of the American Revolution: Published in London Under the Superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge Whilst the once persecuted Protestants thus gave a sad proof that their sufferings had not taught them mercy, it was reserved for a Roman Catholic nobleman to give to the new world a striking example of this happy docility. With what difficulties had they to struggle? What was a common error of the times? What rule of government did they establish? What became of the discontented sectarians?

History of the American Revolution (Classic Reprint) by William Shepherd Pdf

Excerpt from History of the American Revolution Tee discovery of the western hemisphere, effected by the bold and persevering genius of Christopher Columbus, in the year 1492, gave a new impulse to European activity; and the splendid conquests of the Spaniards in the West Indies, and in South America, excited the emulation of the other maritime powers of Christendom. Our ancestors were not dilatory in their endeavors to enter upon this new path to glory and wealth; for we find that, in the year 1498, John Cabot, by virtue of a commission from Henry VIL, took formal possession, in the name of that mon arch, of a considerable portion of the conti nent of North America. No attempt, however, was made to estab lish a colony in that country till the reign of Queen Elizabeth, when Sir Humphrey Gil bert and Sir Walter Raleigh, in the years 1578 and 1584, formed settlements there.

Excerpt from The Story of the American Revolution: Illustrated by Tales, Sketches, and Anecdotes, With Numerous Engravings For these reasons, in most books, fiction wears the aspect of truth, and truth the aspect of fiction. Children are excellent judges of manner, and are very much affected by it. They will listen with much more interest to an indifferent story, happily told, than to a good one stupidly related. They, as well as people of mature age, are more attracted by a novel, or romance, written in a lively and natural style, than by the most important history, if composed in a dull and heavy manner.

History of the American Revolution by Samuel Farmer Wilson Pdf

Excerpt from History of the American Revolution: With a Preliminary View of the Character and Principles of the Colonists, and Their Controversies With Great Britain The first intention of the writer of this book.was to prepare an abstract of some one of the larger histories of the American Revolution, in a more compact form than any which he had met with in his own reading. The object was to present a convenient volume, which should embrace all the principal occurrences, civil, military, and political, in America and Europe, having a direct'infiuence on the principles and progress of the revolutionary contest, at the same time that it should avoid all minor details not positively necessary to the continuity or integrity of the narrative. The military events were to be made less pro minent than is usual; and all circumstantial accounts of battles and manceuvres in the field, beyond leading incidents important for the understanding of the issue, were to be avoided. After examining several of the principal authorities, the design of following any particular author was abandoned, and the present plan adopted, of re-writing and re-arranging the whole, without regard to the order or language of previous histories. These are the claims of the work to originality. Its merits are submitted to the judgment of the public. The writer has diligently compared the received authorities, and exercised his judgment freely in selecting and arranging the essential facts; and he thinks he has brought within the compass of a volume convenient for popular use, a connected narrative of the revolution, em bracing all the principal events - foreign and domestic. Those portions which relate to the foreign negotiations, are more full in proportion, than the other divisions of the sub ject. They will be found, it is believed, correct and valuable.

Leading Events of the American Revolution (Classic Reprint) by William Henry Brearley Pdf

Excerpt from Leading Events of the American Revolution The preparation of this little volume has been attended With much difficulty, because of the disagreement of authori ties whose statements often con ict. Thus, the storming of Stony Point is given by some as July 15, and by others as July 16, I779. Both dates are correct, as the assault occurred about midnight, but July 15 is preferred. The surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga is variously recorded as having oc curred on the 16th and on the r7th of October, 1777. Both of these dates also are correct, for the surrender was arranged on the 16th but went into effect the following day. We give the latter as that most commonly received.

A Short History of the American Revolution by Everett Tomlinson Pdf

Excerpt from A Short History of the American Revolution This work has grown out of the desire frequently expressed to the writer when he has been lecturing on the American Revolution, that in some way the experiences of the people as well as the deeds of the armies in that trying period might be presented to the present generation. After many consultations, and with some hesitation, the author has given to the public this narrative, in which the course of the armies in the various campaigns is followed and, at the same time, many of the forgotten or ignored experiences and deeds of the common people are also incorporated. Of late in the very excellent histories of this struggle of our fathers there has been a tendency to look upon the deeds of the leaders as constituting the war of the Revolution, and the experiences of the people themselves have been pushed somewhat into the background. Without detracting from the soldiers it would seem to be but just to recognize the heroism, the devotion, and the sacrifices and experiences of the people, who apart from the army were ofttimes compelled to bear witness to their faith by a devotion that in other lines has transformed a martyr into a saint. While the armies were fighting the battles of the new nation, the lonely farmers or the scattered bands of the hardy pioneers afforded glimpses of the struggle that was then going on which were as true tests of patriotism and as evident expressions of the life of the nation as were the conquests won by the regiments.

In the Days of Washington by William Murray Graydon Pdf

Excerpt from In the Days of Washington: A Story of the American Revolution Cornelius De Vries, a well-to-do and retired merchant, occupied a broad-armed chair at one side of the table that stood in the middle of the room. He was a very stately old gentleman of sixty, with a clean-shaven and wrinkled face. He wore a wig, black stockings, a coat and vest of broadcloth, and low shoes with silver buckles. His features betrayed his Dutch origin, as did also the long-stemmed pipe he was smoking, and the glass of Holland schnapps at his elbow.
