EUROPEAN THEATRE From June 29, 1775, to Aug. 9, 1775 EUROPEAN THEATRE From June 29, 1775, to August 9, 1775 SUMMARY Even the news of Lexington had not aroused George I11 or his Ministers to the seriousness of the revolt in the American colonies. Were not three major generals and three more regiments of infantry already on the high seas to rein- force Thomas Gage's force? And had not the Admiralty been ordered to aug- ment Samuel Graves's squadron by such a number of frigates as would suffice to secure obedience to the Restrictive Acts recently enacted, and prevent succour from the southern colonies reaching New England? Hhere seemed little doubt in the British mind that with "One tolerable Drubbing," rebel resistance would collapse. Warnings from Whig leaders that conquest would not be so simple, and that possible loss of the American colonies would leave the Empire an easy prey to revengeful France, were discounted as political clap-trap. France was in no position to capitalize upon the American troubles, and her partner, Spain, engrossed in the Mediterranean, could be discounted entirely. So thought the Ministry. As far as concerned Spain, this conclusion was justified.

  • Chronology of the American Revolution
    INTRODUCTION One of the missions of The Friends of Valley Forge Park is the promotion of our historical heritage so that the spirit of what took place over two hundred years ago continues to inspire both current and future generations of all people. It is with great pleasure and satisfaction that we are able to offer to the public this chronology of events of The American Revolution. While a simple listing of facts, it is the hope that it will instill in some the desire to dig a little deeper into the fascinating stories underlying the events presented. The following pages were compiled over a three year period with text taken from many sources, including the internet, reference books, tapes and many other available resources. A bibliography of source material is listed at the end of the book. This publication is the result of the dedication, time and effort of Mr. Frank Resavy, a long time volunteer at Valley Forge National Historical Park and a member of The Friends of Valley Forge Park. As with most efforts of this magnitude, a little help from friends is invaluable. Frank and The Friends are enormously grateful for the generous support that he received from the staff and volunteers at Valley Forge National Park as well as the education committee of The Friends of Valley Forge Park. Don R Naimoli Chairman The Friends of Valley Forge Park ************** The Friends of Valley Forge Park, through and with its members, seeks to: Preserve…the past Conserve…for the future Enjoy…today Please join with us and help share in the stewardship of Valley Forge National Park.

  • Hilary Arnold
    GENTEEL WIDOWS OF BATH I- MRS MARGARET GRAVES AND HER LETTERS FROM BATH, 1793-1807 Hilary Arnold In November 1792 Mrs Margaret Graves (1727-1808), the wealthy widow of Admiral Samuel Graves,1 moved into the newly built house at 15 Lansdown Crescent. Over the next fourteen years she wrote regularly to her great niece Eliza Simcoe. Her letters not only describe some of Bath's social events, her concerns about servants and the cost of living, and contemporary reaction to events in France, they also reveal some of the problems and pleasures of moving into a new house in Bath.2 In particular they provide evidence of the use of rooms and garden which is slightly different from other recent interpretations, for it shows that Mrs Graves and her staff were the sole occupants of the house, and that the planting was for fruit rather than flowers. 3 Margaret Spinckes was baptised on 16 March 1727 in the parish church of All Saints atAldwinkle, Northamptonshire, youngest daughter of Elmes Spinckes who owned the manor. She married the widower Admiral Samuel Graves on 15 June 1769. After the death of her sister Mrs Elizabeth Gwillim, in September 1762, Margaret helped her mother to rear her orphaned niece, Elizabeth Posthuma Gwillim, and then took the six year-old child to her new home, Hembury Fort House at Buckerell, near Honiton, in Devon (fig.1). Fourteen years later, Elizabeth met and, on 30 December 1782, married Admiral Graves's godson, Colonel John Graves Simcoe.4 1. Hembury Fort House, Buckerell, Devon. 79 The Admiral died in March 1787 and his nephew Captain Richard Graves inherited Hembury Fort House.

CAPTAIN JEREMIAH O’BRIEN: MAINE MARINER BY SHELDON S. C OHEN In contrast to most of the major army campaigns, clashes, leadership personalities, effectiveness levels, and strategies of the major land combatants during the American Revolution, Patriot naval activities have not received the overall attention they deserve. William J. Mor - gan, a former editor of the monumental series , Naval Documents of the American Revolution , has noted, “all too frequently historians of the American Revolution have ignored the maritime aspects of the conflict, or, at best have reflected slight understanding of that deci - sive element.” Morgan's observations, made several decades ago, can be verified by surveying the contents then found in prominent writings of the American Revolution. Whereas the lives, exploits, and achieve - ments of such prominent maritime men such as John Paul Jones, Esek Hopkins, Joshua Barney, Abraham Whipple, Dudley Saltonstall, and John Barry have received scholarly attention, there were many others in naval annals that deserve mention in maritime annals.

  • The Revolutionary War Battle of Chelsea Creek – Grounding the Historical Narrative Through Cultural Landscape Analysis
    THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR BATTLE OF CHELSEA CREEK – GROUNDING THE HISTORICAL NARRATIVE THROUGH CULTURAL LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS Victor T. Mastone Massachusetts Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources Craig J. Brown University of Edinburgh Christopher V. Maio University of Alaska, Fairbanks The Battle of Chelsea Creek (May 27–28, 1775) is often overlooked as part of the siege of Boston. Today, the area encompassing the battlefield is a heavily modified urban-industrial landscape, and the associated development activities have severely obscured the major landscape features and archeological resources associated with the battle. With funding from the National Park Service’s American Battlefield Protection Program, a geospatial and temporal assessment of the location, extent, and preservation potential of the Chelsea Creek battlefield and its associated cultural resources was undertaken. By re-examining the documentary record and using GIS analysis, a digital elevation model, and a military terrain model (KOCOA), this investigation created a high-resolution spatial and temporal dataset of Boston’s historical landscape during the time of the American Revolution. The visualization and geospatial analysis of landscapes and significant historical events greatly enhances the understanding of temporal and spatial interactions between these events and the physical landscape upon which they occurred. La bataille de Chelsea Creek (27 au 28 mai 1775) est souvent ignorée comme faisant partie du siège de Boston. Aujourd’hui, la région englobant le champ de bataille est un paysage urbain et industriel fortement altéré, et les activités d’aménagement associées ont gravement occulté les principales caractéristiques du paysage et les ressources archéologiques associées à la bataille. Grâce au financement du Programme de protection des champs de bataille américains du service des parcs nationaux, une évaluation géospatiale et temporelle du lieu, de l’étendue et du potentiel de préservation du champ de bataille de Chelsea Creek, et de ses ressources culturelles connexes a été entreprise.
