Wait, Unpretentious Pluckiness
Author: C. Leon Knore
Publisher: Fulton Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1649523173
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
This book concerns the astonishing events enhancing the natural leadership of General Benjamin Wait. General Wait participated as a Ranger in the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War. He was instrumental in delaying the British General John Burgoyne as he marched from Canada to his defeat at Saratoga, the turning point of the Revolutionary War. Between the wars, Benjamin and his brother, Joseph, became outlaws in New York, were actively involved with the Green Mountain Boys, and contributed significantly in establishing law and order on the frontier in the Vermont country. With the creation of a new country of liberty and democratic self-government, Benjamin was immersed in creating Vermont as an independent entity between neighboring states. His adventurous spirit never ceased, which finally contributed to the founding of Waitsfield, Vermont.

Resurrecting the First Great American Play
Author: Sämi Ludwig
Publisher:
ISBN: 0299325407
Category : American drama
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
"In the mid-eighteenth century, the Ottawa chief Pontiac (often spelled Ponteach at the time) led an intertribal confederacy in resisting British power in the Great Lakes region, an event immortalized in the play Ponteach, or the Savages of America. This play, written by infamous frontier soldier Robert Rogers, is one of the earliest theatrical renderings of the region, depicting its hero in a way that called into question eighteenth-century constructions of Indigenous Americans. Sämi Ludwig contends that Ponteach's literary and artistic merits are worthy of further exploration. He investigates the questions of authorship and analyzes the play's content, embracing its many contradictions as enriching windows into the era. In this way, he suggests using Ponteach as a tool to better understand British imperialism in North America and the emerging theatrical forms developing in the Young Republic"--

Henry Knox and the Revolutionary War Trail in Western Massachusetts
Author: Bernard A. Drew
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786489650
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
During the winter of 1776, in one of the most amazing logistical feats of the Revolutionary War, Henry Knox and his teamsters transported cannons from Fort Ticonderoga through the sparsely populated Berkshires to Boston to help drive British forces from the city. This history documents Knox's precise route--dubbed the Henry Knox Trail--and chronicles the evolution of an ordinary Indian path into a fur corridor, a settlement trail, and eventually a war road. By recounting the growth of this important but under appreciated thoroughfare, this study offers critical insight into a vital Revolutionary supply route.
