One special conference after anothei, together with a larger-than-usual riumber of sessions at the annual convention meetings of the major professional history organizations, is devoted to an examination of our Revolutionary heritage. In recent years historians have begun to ask new questions about the circumstances that surrounded the achievement of American in- dependence, have begun to examine the everyday aspects of life and death in that era, have emphasizeJ the study of society "from .he bottom up" instead of" from the top dow-'-," and have sharpeiaed their analytical skills through the use of new kinds of evidence and r.ew kinds of tools such as computer-assisted statistical runs. With the plethora of conference proceedings, articles and books now becoming readily available to the interested reader-enough to satisfy even the most gluttonous reading appetite--why shouid this publication be so presumptuous as to claim a degree of uniqueness that warrants aiten- •ion by scholars, students and interested laymen? Somehow in the midst of our celebratory scholarship, the military history of the American Revolu- tion, while certainly not being neglected by historians, has not been ac- corded a great deal of interest by the reading public. Perhaps that is because in the minds of many people so much of past military history has been "blood.-and-guts" battle history or self-serving accounts of how various high-ranking gene Als, by dint of fortune or ability, managed almost singlehandedly to "win" this or that war. Perhaps also our reac- tion to recent Ari-rican military involvements has caused an involuntary shrinking away from the study of military history exczpt by dedicated professional historians or by polemicists seeking evidence to support their belief that all military activities are evil and antithetical to basic societal morality. De.spite popular conceptions, not all military history is traditional iattle history or memoirs. Mary military historians are asking the sa4me questions -f their subect material and using the sdme new analytical tools as are their compatriot scholars in other areas of historical research. They also are looking at history from the bottom up to discover the roles of such neglected groups as women, children, Blacks and common soldiers in the various wartime generations. They also are examining more closely the decision-making process to discover why civilian leaders, commanders and soldiers act as they do. = , . ... .I 2 The Sixth Military History Symposium sought to bring together military historians of the American Revolution who were asking the new questios and using the new research lools. The result, we believe, was a blend of careful scholarship and provocative comment that commend.s it- self to anyone interested in the history of our nation's birth. Overarching the entire program was the subject ot .he annual Harmon Memorial Lec- ture, "The American Revolution Todty." Despite a sudden illness that prevented the participation of Professor Joho R. Alden of Duke University and the inconvenient calling of a British general election that demanded the presence (f Professor Esmond Wright of the University of London, the symposium began on schedule the morning of 10 October 1974. In ihe audience were more than 200 historians from the United States and Canada together with members of the Academy Cadet Wing, Academy staff and faculty. Colonel Alfred F. Hurley, Professor and Head of the Department of History, introduced the Academy Superintendent, Major General lames R. Allen, who welcomed the visitors and commented on the threefold purpose of the continuing symposia: to support orig.nal research in military history, to provide writ- ten contributions to military history through the publication of the sym- posia proceQdings, and to encourage Academy cadets to pursue further study ot their chosen

Smith 2 To my mother, who generated my fascination for all things historical 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Jon Sensbach and Jessica Harland-Jacobs for their patience and edification throughout the entire writing process. I would also like to thank Ida Altman, Jack Davis, and Richmond Brown for holding my feet to the path and making me a better historian. I owe a special debt to Jim Cusack, John Nemmers, and the rest of the staff at the P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History and Special Collections at the University of Florida for introducing me to this topic and allowing me the freedom to haunt their facilities and guide me through so many stages of my research. I would be sorely remiss if I did not thank Steve Noll for his efforts in promoting the University of Florida’s history honors program, Phi Alpha Theta; without which I may never have met Jim Cusick. Most recently I have been humbled by the outpouring of appreciation and friendship from the wonderful people of St. Augustine, Florida, particularly the National Association of Colonial Dames, the ladies of the Women’s Exchange, and my colleagues at the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Museum and the First America Foundation, who have all become cherished advocates of this project.

  • Ima Student Knowlton's Rangers and the Battle of Harlem Heights History 1301 Date
    Ima Student Knowlton’s Rangers and the Battle of Harlem Heights History 1301 Date 1 When asking people off the streets of most of the present day United States “Who was Thomas Knowlton?” the majority of those individuals would shake their heads, never before hearing that name. If people of colonial America could be asked the same question during the American Revolution, there would be many more nods in remembrance of the French and Indian War veteran gone Connecticut farmer, who quickly climbed the ranks of the Continental Army. He would be appointed leader of America’s first intelligence unit by General George Washington himself, and create dramatic impacts onto key points during first few years of the war. Thomas Knowlton was a man who lived in war. Born in West Boxford, Massachusetts on November 22, 1740, his family soon relocated to Ashford, Connecticut, where he resided for the remainder of his life. At age 16, Knowlton enlisted in the French and Indian War, sometimes joining his elder brother Daniel on scouting missions, and participated in battles such as the Battle of Wood Creek. Knowlton also took part in the capture of Ticonderoga in July of 1759, and Anna Keyes of Ashford became his wife in April of the same year, though they “did not settle into domestic repose till after the Siege of Havana.” He continued fighting during the siege, which took place in 1762, fighting alongside the English against the Spanish in Cuba before he returned home as one of the small numbers of survivors. Once finally returning home, Knowlton left

  • Philadelphia, the Indispensable City of the American Founding the FPRI Ginsburg—Satell Lecture 2020 Colonial Philadelphia
    Philadelphia, the Indispensable City of the American Founding The FPRI Ginsburg—Satell Lecture 2020 Colonial Philadelphia Though its population was only 35,000 to 40,000 around 1776 Philadelphia was the largest city in North America and the second-largest English- speaking city in the world! Its harbor and central location made it a natural crossroads for the 13 British colonies. Its population was also unusually diverse, since the original Quaker colonists had become a dwindling minority among other English, Scottish, and Welsh inhabitants, a large admixture of Germans, plus French Huguenots, Dutchmen, and Sephardic Jews. But Beware of Prolepsis! Despite the city’s key position its centrality to the American Revolution was by no means inevitable. For that matter, American independence itself was by no means inevitable. For instance, William Penn (above) and Benjamin Franklin (below) were both ardent imperial patriots. We learned of Franklin’s loyalty to King George III last time…. Benjamin Franklin … … and the Crisis of the British Empire The FPRI Ginsburg-Satell Lecture 2019 The First Continental Congress met at Carpenters Hall in Philadelphia where representatives of 12 of the colonies met to protest Parliament’s Coercive Acts, deemed “Intolerable” by Americans. But Congress (narrowly) rejected the Galloway Plan under which Americans would form their own legislature and tax themselves on behalf of the British crown. Hence, “no taxation without representation” wasn’t really the issue. WHAT IF… The Redcoats had won the Battle of Bunker Hill (left)? The Continental Army had not escaped capture on Long Island (right)? Washington had been shot at the Battle of Brandywine (left)? Or dared not undertake the risky Yorktown campaign (right)? Why did King Charles II grant William Penn a charter for a New World colony nearly as large as England itself? Nobody knows, but his intention was to found a Quaker colony dedicated to peace, religious toleration, and prosperity.

  • View to the Quiet of His Rural Home
    94 American Antiquarian Society. [Oct. A FORGOTTEN PATRIOT. BY HENRY S. N0UU8E. OF self-sacrificing patriots who in troublous times have proved themselves worthy the lasting gratitude of the com- monwealth, very many have found no biographer ; but none seem more completely forgotten, even in the towns of which they were once the ruling spirits, than the officers who led the Massachusetts yeomanry during those tedious campaigns of the French and Indian War, which awoke the British colonies to consciousness of their strength and thereby hastened the founding of the Republic. A few in- cidents in the honorable career of one of these unremem- bered patriots—one whom perhaps diffidence only, pre- vented from being a very conspicuous figure in the battles for independence—I have brought together, and offer as faint, unsatisfying outlines of an eventful and useful life. In "Appleton's Cyclopœdia of American Biography," published in 1889, twenty-two lines are given to General John Whitcomb, nearly every date and statement in which is erroneous. It is alleged therein that he was born "about 1720, and died in 1812"; and the brief narrative is embel- lished with a romantic tale wholly borrowed from the mili- tary experience of a younger brother. Colonel Asa Whitcomb. Biographical notes in volumes XII. and XVIII. of the Essex Institute Historical Collections perpetuate like errors of date. Even in the most voluminous histories of the building of the Eepublic, this general's name is barely, or not at all mentioned.

  • The Battle of Ridgefield: April 27, 1777
    American Revolution & Colonial Life Programs Pre and Post Lesson Plans & Activities The Battle of Ridgefield: April 27, 1777 • The Battle of Ridgefield was the only inland battle fought in Connecticut during the Revolutionary War. • Captain Benedict Arnold was the main commander for the battle as the British marched upon a weak Colonial Army. Arnold's defenses kept the British at bay until the larger army could come later. • Brigadier General Gold Selleck Silliman of Fairfield was also involved in the battle. In the primary source letter below, he sends word to General Wooster that they need reinforcements. • Silliman’s 2nd wife, Mary Silliman, writes to her parents after the battle, relieved that her husband and son were unharmed. Although her parents are only a few towns away, she is unable to travel the distance. • Another primary source is a silhouette of Lieutenant Colonel Abraham Gould of Fairfield, who died during the battle. At the Fairfield Museum: • Students will view a painted portrait of Mary Silliman in the galleries. • Students will see the grave marker for General Gold Selleck Silliman, his first wife, and a few of his children. • Students will also see the grave marker of Lieutenant Colonel Abraham Gould.

    MAPPING: NORTHERN BATTLES Using a grid system helps you locate places in the world. A grid system is made up of lines that come together to form squares. The squares divide a map into smaller pieces, making it easier to \ nd important places. Learning how to use a grid system is easy, and will teach you an important location skill. Example: In July 1777, the British Army took control of Mount Independence. Hundreds of soldiers from America, Great Britain, and Germany are buried in unmarked graves on top of Mount Independence. Mount Independence is located at ( 4,4 ). Locate Mount Independence at ( 4,4 ), by putting your \ nger on the number 1 at the bottom of the grid. Slide over to 4 and up to 4. Mount Independence is located in the square created where these two numbers come together. 6 5 Mount 4 Ind. 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 5 678 9 Directions: In this activity, you will use a grid system to locate important Revolutionary War forts and battles in the North. 1. Follow the example above for locating each fort or battle by going over and up. If a fort or battle is located at ( 4,4 ), go over to 4 and up to 4. 2. When you locate a fort or battle on the grid, color in the square with a coloring pencil. If the fort or battle was won by the Americans, color the square blue. If the fort or battle was won by the British, color the square red. 3. The \ rst one has been done for you as an example.
