Thomas Pieper, James B. Gidney

Kent State University Press, 1980

Good Introduction to The Revolutionary War in Ohio
This book addresses a subject that has received scant notice by historians over the years, the history of the Revolutionary War in the Ohio Country. The book begins by giving a short but concise history of the conflict in the western country. Though not generally known today, there was much bitter fighting between the British allied Ohio tribes and the American settlers on the frontier in ...

Monmouth Courthouse 1778: The Last Great Battle In The North (Campaign)

Brendan Morrissey

Osprey Publishing, 2004

One of the few comprehensive looks at this important battle
Throughout my education (even into college), any study of the American Revolution usually started at Boston, talked about the Declaration of Independence, and then skipped over to Yorktown. Trenton, Saratoga, and Valley Forge were some times thrown in for good measure, however none were ever covered in great detail. Most of the major battles of the war have largely been ignored, such as New ...

First book in an exciting new series.

The Philadelphia Campaign, 1777-1778 (Modern War Studies)

2 reviews
Stephen R. Taaffe

University Press Of Kansas, 2003

Worthwhile, but Mildly Disappointing
Stephen Taaffe has written a workmanlike single-volume study of the duel between the American revolutionary army and the British regular army in and around New York and Philadelphia during 1777 and the first half of 1778. He describes all of the major players--Washington, Howe, Greene, Cornwallis, von Steuben, and Clinton--and hits the highlight events--the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, ...

Heritage Books, 2002

A valuable addition to the research library
This well-researched book provides valuable insight for the Revolutionary War student. While scholarly and fact driven, it makes this place and time in our history particularly accessible. It is especially of interest to those who would understand the significant role of the common man. Take special note of the photographs and the painstakingly presented appendices. Also, a nice bibliography ...

William Hazlitt

Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2004

The spirit of the life
I would recomend this book because Hazlitt is a absolutely expert respect of the people mind and character. After you read to Shakespeare, you must read, by obligation, to William Hazlitt. The clean and wise life it's necesary for a deep spirit. My english seem the most horrible expresion. But the Hazlitt english is the most perfect english. I'm sorry. A good thinking life it's an whole avalaible ...
