The author relates how radical Patriots secured those four cannon and smuggled them out of Boston, and how Gage sent out spies and search parties to track them down. Drawing on archives in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, the book creates a lively, original, and deeply documented picture of a society perched on the brink of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat really happened at North Bridge on April 19, 1775\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA walk through Minute Man National Park and across North Bridge with J.

British general Thomas Gage had been searching for them, both to stymie New England’s growing rebellion and to erase the embarrassment of having let cannon disappear from armories under redcoat guard. Anxious to regain those weapons, he drew up plans for his troops to march nineteen miles into unfriendly territory. The Massachusetts Patriots, meanwhile, prepared to thwart the general’s mission. There was one goal Gage and his enemies shared: for different reasons, they all wanted to keep the stolen cannon as secret as possible. Both sides succeeded well enough that the full story has never appeared until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the author:\u003c\/strong\u003e J. L.

Things are complicated by the fact that Loyalist spies are reporting their every move, and their older brother, Berty, is captured and scheduled to be hanged as a traitor. The story moves at a brisk pace with plenty of musketry and bloodshed, and the technical information about the Turtle’s creation is interesting rather than dull; readers hearing of the submarine for the first time will be intrigued.

With the tacit support of the U.S. government and inspired by a previous generation of successful American revolutionaries, the group that carried out a series of five attacks on Canada--the Fenian Brotherhood--established a state in exile, planned prison breaks, weathered infighting, stockpiled weapons, and assassinated enemies.

For the first time, Rose takes us beyond the battlefront and deep into the shadowy underworld of double agents and triple crosses, covert operations and code breaking, and unmasks the courageous, flawed men who inhabited this wilderness of mirrors—including the spymaster at the heart of it all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the summer of 1778, with the war poised to turn in his favor, General George Washington desperately needed to know where the British would strike next. To that end, he unleashed his secret weapon: an unlikely ring of spies in New York charged with discovering the enemy’s battle plans and military strategy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWashington’s small band included a young Quaker torn between political principle and family loyalty, a swashbuckling sailor addicted to the perils of espionage, a hard-drinking barkeep, a Yale-educated cavalryman and friend of the doomed Nathan Hale, and a peaceful, sickly farmer who begged Washington to let him retire but who always came through in the end. Personally guiding these imperfect everyday heroes was Washington himself. In an era when officers were gentlemen, and gentlemen didn’ t spy, he possessed an extraordinary talent for deception—and proved an adept spymaster.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe men he mentored were dubbed the Culper Ring. The British secret service tried to hunt them down, but they escaped by the closest of shaves thanks to their ciphers, dead drops, and invisible ink. Rose’s thrilling narrative tells the unknown story of the Revolution–the murderous intelligence war, gunrunning and kidnapping, defectors and executioners—that has never appeared in the history books. But Washington’s Spies is also a spirited, touching account of friendship and trust, fear and betrayal, amid the dark and silent world of the spy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Alexander Rose tells this important story with style and wit.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e— Pulitzer Prize–winning author Joseph J.

These were men who had helped secure the nation’s independence decades earlier. In 1864, Reverend E. B. Hillard photographed and interviewed six of these remaining patriots, publishing their stories in a book later that year. Though the images have long fascinated generations, the accompanying biographies were flawed—shaped by fading memories and a strong patriotic narrative.

Yet the real men behind the red uniforms—those who played a central role in the American Revolutionary War—have largely remained obscure in the historical record.

Hagist offers a detailed exploration of the lives of these soldiers, examining how they trained, fought, and adapted during the conflict. Using thousands of primary sources—from military documents and personal letters to archives in the U.K., U.S., and Canada—Hagist paints a vivid picture of the army's transformation from peacetime service to wartime readiness, and how those involved coped with the hardships and challenges of war, both during and after the fighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"2036\" class=\"\"\u003eWith a foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Rick Atkinson, this in-depth work challenges longstanding assumptions about the British forces. The soldiers were far from uniform—they came from different countries, age groups, and social classes, and many had joined during times of peace, only to be thrust into combat in unfamiliar and often harsh environments. Rather than focusing solely on broad military movements, Hagist zooms in on the personal: a guard braving a winter illness, a moment of quiet spent writing to family back home. Through these intimate glimpses, it becomes clear that while they are often labeled “common” soldiers, each man had his own story.

Enslaved individuals and indentured servants who escaped were frequently pursued by their owners, who placed ads in newspapers offering rewards for their capture. Some women fled abusive marriages, while others left for reasons unknown. During the 18th and 19th centuries, American newspapers published countless notices about runaways, each providing brief but vivid descriptions of the individuals involved and the context of their departure. While it’s hard to assess how successful these ads were in recovering the people they sought, their prevalence shows how much they were relied on. What those posting the ads couldn’t have foreseen was the historical value their words would one day hold.

The men who made up the British army during the Revolutionary War are frequently portrayed through stereotypes or overlooked entirely. In reality, many of these Redcoats were career soldiers who had voluntarily enlisted, often in their teens or early twenties. They came from a wide range of backgrounds—some were seeking stability, others aiming for upward mobility, and some simply drawn to military life. Contrary to the image of them as conscripts or criminals, the majority were educated to varying degrees and had chosen soldiering over other paths.

He certainly had a lot to say: his service in two of the most important campaigns—the 1777 Saratoga campaign and the 1781 campaign through the Carolinas to Virginia—put him in the thick of some of the war’s most famous battles. Moreover, he was twice captured and twice escaped, making his way through hostile territory to rejoin the British army. Later in his life he wrote two books chronicling these experiences in great detail. Hundreds of British soldiers went through similar ordeals, sharing in the campaigns, the battles, the captivities, the escapes, but none recounted any aspect of these activities in the level of detail that Lamb did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first edition of this book, published in 2004, combined all of Roger Lamb’s first-hand recollections from his two books, \u003cem\u003eAn Original and Authentic Journal of Occurrences during the late American War, from its Commencement to the Year 1783 \u003c\/em\u003e(Dublin, 1809) and \u003cem\u003eMemoir of his Own Life \u003c\/em\u003e(Dublin, 1811).

Enslaved individuals and indentured servants who escaped were frequently pursued by their owners, who placed ads in newspapers offering rewards for their capture. Some women fled abusive marriages, while others left for reasons unknown. During the 18th and 19th centuries, American newspapers published countless notices about runaways, each providing brief but vivid descriptions of the individuals involved and the context of their departure. While it’s hard to assess how successful these ads were in recovering the people they sought, their prevalence shows how much they were relied on. What those posting the ads couldn’t have foreseen was the historical value their words would one day hold.
