  • 'Deprived of Their Liberty'
    'DEPRIVED OF THEIR LIBERTY': ENEMY PRISONERS AND THE CULTURE OF WAR IN REVOLUTIONARY AMERICA, 1775-1783 by Trenton Cole Jones A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June, 2014 © 2014 Trenton Cole Jones All Rights Reserved Abstract Deprived of Their Liberty explores Americans' changing conceptions of legitimate wartime violence by analyzing how the revolutionaries treated their captured enemies, and by asking what their treatment can tell us about the American Revolution more broadly. I suggest that at the commencement of conflict, the revolutionary leadership sought to contain the violence of war according to the prevailing customs of warfare in Europe. These rules of war—or to phrase it differently, the cultural norms of war— emphasized restricting the violence of war to the battlefield and treating enemy prisoners humanely. Only six years later, however, captured British soldiers and seamen, as well as civilian loyalists, languished on board noisome prison ships in Massachusetts and New York, in the lead mines of Connecticut, the jails of Pennsylvania, and the camps of Virginia and Maryland, where they were deprived of their liberty and often their lives by the very government purporting to defend those inalienable rights. My dissertation explores this curious, and heretofore largely unrecognized, transformation in the revolutionaries' conduct of war by looking at the experience of captivity in American hands. Throughout the dissertation, I suggest three principal factors to account for the escalation of violence during the war. From the onset of hostilities, the revolutionaries encountered an obstinate enemy that denied them the status of legitimate combatants, labeling them as rebels and traitors.

  • Maryland Historical Magazine, 1948, Volume 43, Issue No. 2
    MflRyjQHIlX) MARYLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY BALTIMORE JUNE • 1948 IN 1929 the Hutzler Service Building was erected on the north side of Saratoga Street. Extending through to Mulberry, this building contained the Parking Garage, Warehouse, Delivery Station, (and subsequently the Hutzler Fountain Shop) and was connected with the Hutzler Store by a tunnel under Saratoga Street. This expansion, along with the 1928 moves, and the purchase of electricity and steam from the public utility, enabled us to open Hutzler's Downstairs, "A Thrift Store with Hutzler Standards." This was an entirely new store, with a separate merchandising and buying organization, but with Hutzler ownership and policies. HUTZLER BROTHERS CO. MSA- SC 5S6H-IK3 MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE A Quarterly Volume XLIII JUNE, 1948 Number 2 TRAVELS OF AN ENGLISH IMMIGRANT TO MARYLAND IN 1796-1797 Edited by JOHN RALPH LAMBERT, JR. LTHOUGH many American families trace their ancestry to some adventurous spirit who relin- quished European ties in order to establish himself in the New World, accounts of the actual voyage of migration, related by the forebear who made it, 1are few 1 indeed. The following sketch, written in 1829, from notes describing events in 1796 and 1797, supplies such a narrative for one Maryland family—the Brevitts. In it Dr. Joseph Brevitt, a hospital surgeon attached to units of the British army in the West Indies, describes conditions existing in both the Windward and the Leeward Islands during the epoch following the French Revo- lution, his disillusionment at the prospects of advancement in military service, and his ultimate determination to seek his fortune in the recently established American Republic.

Rare items of Maryland interest frequently escape us because no funds are available for their purchase.
