From Ice Age to Essex

Pages : 68
Book Description
"From Ice Age to Essex is a short history of human habitation in East London, based on archaeological findings made at gravel quarries. To find the beginning of this story we have to go back half a million years, to the time when advancing ice sheets pushed the Thames southwards to its present course, depositing river gravels across East London. These gravels have a huge commercial value and quarrying has evolved from ancient diggings to the modern aggregates industry."--BOOK JACKET.

The British Raid on Essex
Author: Jerry Roberts
Publisher: Wesleyan University Press
ISBN: 0819574775
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
This is the dynamic account of one of the most destructive maritime actions to take place in Connecticut history: the 1814 British attack on the privateers of Pettipaug, known today as the British Raid on Essex. During the height of the War of 1812, 136 Royal marines and sailors made their way up the Connecticut River from warships anchored in Long Island Sound. Guided by a well-paid American traitor the British navigated the Saybrook shoals and advanced up the river under cover of darkness. By the time it was over, the British had burned twenty-seven American vessels, including six newly built privateers. It was the largest single maritime loss of the war. Yet this story has been virtually left out of the history books—the forgotten battle of the forgotten war. This new account from author and historian Jerry Roberts is the definitive overview of this event and includes a wealth of new information drawn from recent research and archaeological finds. Lavish illustrations and detailed maps bring the battle to life.
