Landmarks of the American Revolution:
In 1775, on the green of Lexington, Massachusetts, 2,200 British minutemen fired upon the local militia -- seventy colonial farmers and village artisans in total.

Zusammenfassung: | In 1775, on the green of Lexington, Massachusetts, 2,200 British minutemen fired upon the local militia -- seventy colonial farmers and village artisans in total. The British suffered staggering losses: half of their troops died. And so began the American Revolution. In Landmarks of the American Revolution, fourteen key sites and numerous secondary locales show with rich detail and fascinating anecdotes where the War of Independence took place. In addition to the Lexington-Concord Battle Site, historian Gary Nash features Independence Hall in Philadelphia where the Declaration of Independence was signed; John Paul Jones House in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where the out-of-work, 28-year-old immigrant who went on to become one of the new nation's naval heroes lived; Peyton Randolph House in Williamsburg, Virginia, a place emblematic of African Americans' role in the war; and many other significant places of the American Revolution. A dynamic journey through history that reveals all sides in the war -- loyalists, patriots, African American, Native American, women, British -- Landmarks of the American Revolution brings to life how a new nation came to be. |

the
Amerìcan
Revolution, Gary Nash takes readers to battlefields, meeting
houses, churches, and other historic places that make up the landscape of the
American Revolution. Ordinary life in colonial America took on a new resonance as
individuals and communities contributed to the fight for freedom from British rule and
the struggle to reform American society. The forts, shipyards, and fisheries of Marblehead,
Massachusetts, provide the backdrop for the exploration of the war at sea. The New Jersey
home of Francis Hopkinson, who contributed to the American cause through his poetry, paint¬
ings, and plays, exemplifies the influence of the arts during the Revolution. George
Washington s winter encampment at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, reflects not only his army s
resolve, but the entire nation s as well. And the spirited debates led by Samuel Adams and
Thomas Hancock at Bostons Old South Meeting House bring to life the role of religion. From
Lexington Green, where the first shots were fired, to Independence Hall, where the Declaration
of Independence was debated, drafted, and signed, Landmarks of the American Revolution creates
a unique picture of the events that helped form our country.
James Oliver
Horton
General Editor
By invoking the power of place, Landmarks of American History makes the past as vital
today as it was for the people who lived it. In each volume a distinguished historian uses sites
selected from the National Register of Historic Places as primary sources to explore a particular
theme in U.S. history. More traditional primary sources
—
such as letters, architectural plans,
and newspaper articles
—
as well as maps of the sites play supporting roles. Rural or urban,
public or private, large or small, each site shines as a facet of our national story.
