Pages : 675
Book Description
The American Revolution pitted 13 loosely united colonies in a military, political, and economic struggle against Great Britain: the "mother country" and arguably the most powerful state in the world during the late 18th century. The independent spirit that led many individuals to leave homes in Europe and settle in the New World during the 17th and 18th centuries evolved into the drive that persuaded these same settlers and their descendants to challenge the colonial economic and taxation policies of Great Britain, which lead to the armed conflict that resulted in a declaration of independence. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of the American Revolution contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1,000 cross-referenced entries on the politics, battles, weaponry, and major personalities of the war. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the American Revolution.

Book Description
Excerpt from Ballads of New Jersey in the Revolution I should dedicate them to the two brothers whose labors in searching out and recording the traditions of Morris County in the Revolution awakened in my mind the desire to celebrate that history in verse. These ballads are not a work of fiction. I have followed the historian closely, sometimes almost word for word. A list is given herewith of those historical works from which my informa tion is derived. These sources are referred to by number in the Table of Contents. It will be seen that Books I II., IV., and V., are chiefly based upon the Tuttle papers in Dawson's Magazine; while Book III. Is chiefly taken from Mellick's Story of an Old Farm.

1788 Morristown Ghost Hoax, The: The Search for Lost Revolutionary War Treasure
Author: Peter ZablockiPublisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1467150975
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
A Fabulous Fable of the Supernatural Kind The saga of the Morristown ghost has been told around campfires and dinner tables in Morris County for generations. Local legend claimed British Loyalists secretly buried stolen Patriot treasure on Schooley Mountain as they fled the oncoming forces of George Washington during the Revolutionary War. Years later in 1788, a former school teacher from Connecticut, Ransford Rodgers, convinced local prominent Morristown families that a ghost was protecting the true location of the treasure and he alone could exercise it. Little did the victims know, Rodgers was perpetuating an elaborate hoax and eventually extorted large sums of money from the embarrassed local elite. The tale has been recounted in various sensational pamphlets and publications ever since, leaving behind a mystery of what is true or myth. Author Peter Zablocki separates fact from fiction in the story of the great Morristown ghost hoax.
