The War for Independence touched virtually every American. By bringing together the perspectives of soldiers, women, African Americans, and American Indians, War and Society in the American Revolution gives readers a fuller sense of the meaning of this historical moment.

He includes the roles of life guards, camp guards, quarter guards, picket men, and safe guards, whose responsibilities ranged from escorting the commander in chief, intercepting spies and stragglers, and protecting farmers from marauding soldiers to searching for deserters, rounding up unauthorized personnel, and looking for delinquents in local towns and taverns.

Landon Carter’s Uneasy Kingdom : Revolution And Rebellion On A Virginia Plantation

Attribution
Rhys IsaacPublication Details
BookOxford University Press2004Links
Description
Landon Carter, a Virginia planter patriarch, left behind one of the most revealing of all American diaries. Not only had Landon’s king betrayed his subjects, but Landon’s own household betrayed him: his son showed insolent defiance, his daughter Judith eloped with a forbidden suitor, all of his slaves conspired constantly, and eight of them made an armed exodus to freedom. Moreover, in this presentation of Landon Carter’s passionate narratives, the diarist becomes an arresting new character in the world’s literature, a figure of Shakespearean proportions, the Lear of his own tragic kingdom.

The Valley Forge Winter : Civilians And Soldiers In War

Attribution
Wayne BodlePublication Details
BookPennsylvania State University Press2002Description
Of the many dramatic episodes of the American Revolution, perhaps none is more steeped in legend than the Valley Forge winter. To this day schoolchildren are taught that Valley Forge was the “turning point of the Revolution”–the event that transformed a ragged group of soldiers into a fighting army. Farmers from the interior provided food that ensured that the army didn’t starve.) As for Steuben’s role in training the soldiers, Bodle argues that it was not the decisive factor others have seen in the army’s later victories. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Availability

A People’s History Of The American Revolution : How Common People Shaped The Fight For Independence

Attribution
Ray RaphaelPublication Details
BookNew Press2001Description
Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States turned history on its head for an entire generation of readers, telling the nation’s story through the eyes of ordinary people?the slaves, workers, immigrants, women, and Native Americans who made history but who are typically left out of the historical record. His point of view, his narrative, perfectly match the intent of a ‘people’s history.’ ” The first major effort to tell the history of the American Revolution from the often overlooked standpoints of its everyday participants, A People’s History of the American Revolution is a highly accessible narrative of the wartime experience that brings in the stories of previously marginalized voices: the common people, slave and free, who made up the majority in eighteenth-century America.
