Congress's Own
Author: Holly A. Mayer
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806169923
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
Colonel Moses Hazen’s 2nd Canadian Regiment was one of the first “national” regiments in the American army. Created by the Continental Congress, it drew members from Canada, eleven states, and foreign forces. “Congress’s Own” was among the most culturally, ethnically, and regionally diverse of the Continental Army’s regiments—a distinction that makes it an apt reflection of the union that was struggling to create a nation. The 2nd Canadian, like the larger army, represented and pushed the transition from a colonial, continental alliance to a national association. The problems the regiment raised and encountered underscored the complications of managing a confederation of states and troops. In this enterprising study of an intriguing and at times “infernal” regiment, Holly A. Mayer marshals personal and official accounts—from the letters and journals of Continentals and congressmen to the pension applications of veterans and their widows—to reveal what the personal passions, hardships, and accommodations of the 2nd Canadian can tell us about the greater military and civil dynamics of the American Revolution. Congress’s Own follows congressmen, commanders, and soldiers through the Revolutionary War as the regiment’s story shifts from tents and trenches to the halls of power and back. Interweaving insights from borderlands and community studies with military history, Mayer tracks key battles and traces debates that raged within the Revolution’s military and political borderlands wherein subjects became rebels, soldiers, and citizens. Her book offers fresh, vivid accounts of the Revolution that disclose how “Congress’s Own” regiment embodied the dreams, diversity, and divisions within and between the Continental Army, Congress, and the emergent union of states during the War for American Independence.

The Scrip, Vol. 1
Author: Elisabeth Luther Cary
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9781396122859
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
Excerpt from The Scrip, Vol. 1: July 1906 T the exhibition of. The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts last winter, in the sculpture room, was to be seen a very small figurine representing a child clasping in its arms a picturebook, its face broadly smiling, its sandalled feet stoutly planted, its large head 'childishly erect on the small throat, its entire pose vigorously suggestive of freshness of inspiration. Technically the work had a singular attractive ness. It combined delicacy of modelling with boldness of form. The hand had known just where' to insist upon the anatomical structure for the affect of robustness in the sturdy little figure, and just where to caress the surface into delicate suggestions of light and shadow. The hair lying thick and rough on the head was not permitted to conceal the fine shape of the latter; the dimpled cheeks and dimpled arms, the babyish chin curving softly in beautiful modulation to the little neck, the plump, outspread hands, had, with all their suggestions of tenderness and childhood, not a trace of the sentimental smoothness by which tenderness and child hood commonly are rendered. The touch was firm and clear and the individual character was shown through the soft forms with penetrating imagination. It was altogether a performance of extraordinary distinction, in which the sculptor, Caroline Peddle Ball, displayed all the qualities of her exceedingly personal and interesting art.
