Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In the Camp of Cornwallis: Being the Story of Reuben Denton and His Experiences During the New "This campaign has attracted far less attention than it deserves, mainly, no doubt, because it contained no battles or other striking incidents. It was purely a series of strategic devices. But in point of military skill it was, perhaps, as remarkable as anything that Washington ever did, and it certainly occupies a cardinal position in the history of the overthrow of Burgoyne. For if Howe had been able to take Philadelphia early in the summer (1777), it is difficult to see what could have prevented him from returning and ascending the Hudson, in accordance with the plan of the ministry." - John Fiske, The American Revolution Volume I, page 317. In this tale I have endeavored to afford my young readers a glimpse into the trying days of 1777. Many of the incidents which have been incorporated in this% book are true, and are recorded in the earlier histories.
