The Indispensables
Author: Patrick K. O'Donnell
Publisher: Grove Atlantic
ISBN: 0802156916
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
The acclaimed combat historian and author of The Unknowns details the history of the Marbleheaders and their critical role in the Revolutionary War. On the stormy night of August 29, 1776, the Continental Army faced annihilation after losing the Battle of Brooklyn. The British had trapped George Washington’s army against the East River, and the fate of the Revolution rested upon the soldier-mariners from Marblehead, Massachusetts. One of the country’s first diverse units, they pulled off an “American Dunkirk” and saved the army by navigating the treacherous river to Manhattan. At the right time in the right place, the Marbleheaders, a group of white, black, Hispanic, and Native American soldiers, repeatedly altered the course of events, and their story shines new light on our understanding of the American Revolution. As historian Patrick K. O’Donnell recounts, beginning nearly a decade before the war started, Marbleheaders such as Elbridge Gerry and Azor Orne spearheaded the break with Britain and helped shape the United States through governing, building alliances, seizing British ships, forging critical supply lines, and establishing the origins of the US Navy. The Marblehead Regiment, led by John Glover, became truly indispensable. Marbleheaders battled at Lexington and on Bunker Hill and formed the elite Guard that protected George Washington, foreshadowing today’s Secret Service. Then the special operations–like regiment, against all odds, conveyed 2,400 of Washington’s men across the ice-filled Delaware River on Christmas night of 1776, delivering the surprise attack on Trenton that changed the course of history . . . The Marbleheaders’ story, never fully told before now, makes The Indispensables a vital addition to the literature of the American Revolution. Praise for The Indispensables “Perfectly paced and powerfully wrought, this is the story of common men who gave everything for an ideal—America. The product of meticulous research, The Indispensables is the perfect reminder of who we are, when we need it most.” —Adam Makos, author of the New York Times bestseller A Higher Call “O’Donnell’s gift for storytelling brings the once famous regiment back to life, as he takes readers from the highest war councils to the grime and grit of battle.” —Dr. James Lacey, author of The Washington War “Comprehensive . . . Revolutionary War buffs will delight in the copious details and vivid battle scenes.” —Publishers Weekly “A vivid account of an impressive Revolutionary War unit and a can’t-miss choice for fans of O’Donnell’s previous books.” —Kirkus Review

Book Description
A young mother, Maude Crowley, moves to a seacoast town, Marblehead, Mass., and strives to write a children's book based on her 6-year-old son David and his playmates. Unlike other kids, her fictional child Azor can speak with animals who tell him important things like the location of lost objects and people. The young woman writes the book in three weeks.

"Azor" is published in 1948 followed by four other children's stories. Reviewers love the books which go on to sell 51,000 copies and earn almost $9000 by 1960 ($85,000 in today's money).Her devotion to her son is total. How does she find time to write these books along with three others that aren't published and several short stories? And what is her son's life like knowing that he has a fictional counterpart? David, the real son, can't speak with animals but has a great childhood anyway. All is not perfect for him, though. He has to live in a world where the kids around him are real, and where his mother, despite her extraordinary talent and outsized persona, has all the flaws of a real adult.Fifty-two years after her first book is published, Maude Crowley dies in August 2000, and David inherits a mass of manuscripts, correspondence, and business papers. Now in full detail, you can read how Maude Crowley built her writing career, how she succeeded in the competitive world of children's publishing, and how she maintained her home and family. There are excerpts from the five children's books, notes from Maude that illuminate her forceful presence, and her son's reactions it all-her writing, her relationships, and her struggles with problems real and imagined.
