    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.

  • Appendix D Expanding Historic Interpretation
    Appendix D: Expanding Historic Interpretation Appendix D Expanding Historic Interpretation Background During the first meeting held for the production of this document, staff from the American Battlefield Preservation Program suggested that there should be a focus on broadening the interpretation of the Battle of Brandywine to include topics that have not always been included in past interpretations. This appendix presents an example of some of the topics which could be addressed to broaden the interpretation. The topics discussed below do not focus on the most significant aspects of the Battle but rather on interesting narratives that provide a depth and understanding as to the communities, people, and personalities who were involved with the Battle either as combatants or noncombatants. NARRATIVES ABOUT COMBAT OFFICERS1 To understand the events of September 11, 1777, it is necessary to be familiar with the key individuals who planned the Battle, directed troops, or played an important role in the Battle’s aftermath. These men, listed below, should not be regarded as the only major figures in the Battle, but rather just those who were most prominent in terms of executive decisions and overall strategy. In the past, historic interpretation has focus on the role these men played in the Battle of the War, but did not go into much detail as to who these men were and what they did before and after the war. Such narratives can put the events of the Battle Gen. Sir William Howe (19th into context. For example, prior to 1776, Gen. Washington had century), H. B. Hall.2 spent over a decade as a farmer and surveyor, and so was not as experienced as the British generals.

Watkins Department of Geological Sciences & Engineering University of Missouri-Rolla Presentation for History of Geology Division and History of the Earth Sciences Society Anniversary Celebration Annual Meeting Geological Society of America Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Tuesday October 24, 2006 At the Second Continental Congress in 1775 John Adams nominated George Washington to serve as CommandCommanderer-in-Chief of the ragtag American Army fighting the British in Boston. He promptly set off for Boston, where he oversaw the American effort to keep the British bottled up in Boston. After occupying Dorchester Heights with troops and canon, the British abandoned Boston and re- grouped in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Washington correctly surmised that the next British objective would be New York City, and moved his Army to New York to make preparations for the English onslaught. The ensuing Battle of Long Island and retreat from Brooklyn Heights would be the first time Washington commanded Continental forces in actual combat operations against the British. Between late June and early August 1776 the British landed on Staten Island with the largest amphibious force ever assembled in the 18th Century: 30 battleships with 1200 cannon, with 300 support vessels manned by 10,000 sailors, and embarking 32,000 ground troops.

  • The Battle of Long Island ( by George Dewan, Newsday Staff Writer
    The Battle Of Long Island (www.newsday.com/extras/lihistory/4/hs404a.htm) By George DeWan, Newsday Staff Writer As he stood on a Brooklyn hill watching the first great battle of the Revolutionary War taking place below him, Gen. George Washington is reported to have said: ``Good God! What brave fellows I must this day lose!'' The general was viewing the most stirring action of the one-day Battle of Long Island, Aug. 27, 1776. For heroism, nothing matched the actions of a band of close to 400 gallant men from Maryland led by 50-year-old American Brig. Gen. William Alexander, better known as Lord Stirling, a title he claimed in Scotland. Outnumbered more than five to one, Stirling's men were defending the American right flank, protecting the massive retreat of American forces being threatened with annihilation. Six times they charged a superior British force holed up in the Vechte-Cortelyou House on Gowanus Road. Six times they were repulsed. When the effort finally collapsed, 259 American men lay dead, and another 100 or so were wounded. Many accounts have Washington, impeccably dressed in his buff and blue uniform, moving back and forth among his troops, encouraging, goading, prodding. The 44-year-old general, as anyone who crossed him knew, was tough and single-minded, and could use language that would scorch the paint off a barn. ``If I see any man turn his back today, I will shoot him through,'' one unidentified private later claimed to hear Washington shout at his men. ``I have two pistols loaded, but I will not ask any man to go further than I do.
