Bunker Hill
Author: Nathaniel Philbrick
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 014312532X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
The bestselling author of In the Heart of the Sea, Mayflower, and In the Hurricane's Eye tells the story of the Boston battle that ignited the American Revolution, in this "masterpiece of narrative and perspective." (Boston Globe) In the opening volume of his acclaimed American Revolution series, Nathaniel Philbrick turns his keen eye to pre-Revolutionary Boston and the spark that ignited the American Revolution. In the aftermath of the Boston Tea Party and the violence at Lexington and Concord, the conflict escalated and skirmishes gave way to outright war in the Battle of Bunker Hill. It was the bloodiest conflict of the revolutionary war, and the point of no return for the rebellious colonists. Philbrick gives us a fresh view of the story and its dynamic personalities, including John Adams, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Paul Revere, and George Washington. With passion and insight, he reconstructs the revolutionary landscape—geographic and ideological—in a mesmerizing narrative of the robust, messy, blisteringly real origins of America.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1862 edition. Excerpt: ... The patriot preachers of the American revolution Frank Moore Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1862, by M. A. MOORE, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York. PREFACE. It is the purpose of the editor of this volume to present a collection of the most characteristic Sermons, that were preached by the most celebrated divines, who occupied the American pulpits during the period extending from the Repeal of the Stamp Act, in 1766, through the Revolution, to the establishment of peace in 1783. The propriety of the publication of such a collection at the present time must be apparent to readers of all classes.* The universal assertion that "the preachers of the Revolution did not hesitate to attack the great political and social evils of their day," demands a support, which nothing but the reproduction of their strong, practical appeals, can afford. As such, this collection is offered. The brief biographical notices prefixed to each sermon are intended simply to indicate the position and PREACHERS OF THE REVOLUTION. JONATHAN MAYHEW, D. D. Doctor Mayhew was a descendant from one of the most ancient and honorable families in New England. The first of the name who came to America, was Thomas Mayhew, governor of Martha's Vineyard, who resided at Watertown, Massachusetts, in 1636, and died 1681. The subject of this sketch was the greatgrandson of Governor Thomas, and was born in 1720. In 1744, he graduated at Harvard College, and three years after was ordained pastor of the West Church, in Boston. In this charge he continued until his death, "loving his people, and by them beloved;" explaining with manly fortitude, the truths contained in the
