Excerpt from The Heroes of the American Revolution and Their Descendants: Battle of Long Island This statement is made on the authority of a man who was a prisoner on the Asia at the time. The journal of a British officer refers to the Denise house as follows: "The Admiral directed Sir George Collier to place the Rainbow, at dawn of day, in the Narrows abreast of a large stone building called Denise's, where he understood the rebels had cannon and a strong post, in which situation she would be able to enfilade the road leading from New York, and prevent reinforcements being sent to the rebel outposts, as well as to their troops who were stationed to oppose the landing." Lord Howe's letter, describing the landing, says: "Gen. Howe giving me notice of his intention to make a descent on Gravesend Bay, on Long Island, on the morning of the 22d, the necessary disposition was made, and 75 flatboats, with 11 batteaux and 2 galleys built for the occasion, were prepared for that service. The command of the whole remained with Com. Hotham. The Capts. Parker, Wallace and Dickson, in the Phenix, Rose and Greyhound, with the Thunder, and Carcass bombs, under the direction of Col. James, were appointed to cover the landing. The flatboats, galleys and three batteaux, manned from the ships of war, were formed into three divisions, commanded respectively by the Capts. Vanderput, Mason, Curtis, Caldwell, Phipps, Caulfield, Uppleby and Duncan, and Lt. Reeve, of the Eagle. The rest of the batteaux, making a 10th division, manned from the transports, were under the conduct of Lt. Bristow, an assistant agent. Early in the morning of the 22d the covering ships took their station in Gravesend Bay. The light infantry, with the reserve to be first landed, forming a corps together of 4,000 men, entered the boats at Staten Island the same time. The transports in which the several brigades composing the second debarkation (about 5,000 men) had been before embarked, were moved down and suitably arranged without the covering ship by 8 o'clock. The first debarkation not meeting with any opposition, the second succeeded immediately after; and the other transports, carrying the rest of the troops, following the former in proper succession.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ... PREFACE. EVERAL histories have been written and papers prepared on the Battle of Long Island during the past half century by our ablest historians, the object of most of whom has been to demonstrate the causes of a defeat which was inevitable from the beginning. This opinion is shared by the best military critics who have given the subject any attention. As one has truly said: "The American forces might have retreated in good order with comparatively small loss, but they must have retreated. Five thousand raw recruits--few of whom had ever been in battle and most of whom must have fought without cover--could not long have resisted twenty thousand well-appointed veterans." The compiler of the present work has no hope or expectation of being able to present any new facts pertaining to the subject in controversy. His aim, first, is to give the reader a clear and comprehensive view of the facts, compiled from the most authentic sources, by locating and illustrating the several points of interest; second, to collect and preserve in permanent form the names and personal record of those who participated in this important event. Says a well known writer on this subject: "It is due to the brave combatants of that day, that their names and deeds should be remembered and commemorated, in common with many others more distinguished only because they were more fortunate.' Every man, from the commander-in-chief down to the humblest private, was a Herd on that day, and deserves to l1e remembered by his descendants, many of whom are represented in the various societies of the Revolution at the present day, and who will no doubt gladly avail themselves of this opportunity to preserve the record and thus perpetuate the memory of their dist

Holding back 20,000 British and Hessian soldiers, they allowed their comrades to retreat and may have saved the Revolution from immediate defeat. This exhaustively researched account introduces the reader to the background of the battle and the stories of the individuals who fought that day, and includes biographies with extensive quoted material in addition to a general historic overview.

When the Continental Congress decided to declare independence from the British empire in 1776, ten percent of the population of their fledgling country were from Ireland. By 1790, close to 500,000 Irish citizens had immigrated to America. They were was very active in the American Revolution, both on the battlefields and off, and yet their stories are not well known. The important contributions of the Irish on military, political, and economic levels have been long overlooked and ignored by generations of historians. However, new evidence has revealed that Washington’s Continental Army consisted of a far larger percentage of Irish soldiers than previously thought—between 40 and 50 percent—who fought during some of the most important battles of the American Revolution. Romanticized versions of this historical period tend to focus on the upper class figures that had the biggest roles in America’s struggle for liberty. But these adaptations neglect the impact of European and Irish ideals as well as citizens on the formation of the revolution. Irish contributors such as John Barry, the colonies’ foremost naval officer; Henry Knox, an artillery officer and future Secretary of War; Richard Montgomery, America’s first war hero and martyr; and Charles Thomson, a radical organizer and Secretary to the Continental Congress were all instrumental in carrying out the vision for a free country. Without their timely and disproportionate assistance, America almost certainly would have lost the desperate fight for its existence.
