Présentation de l'éditeur
It has often been remarked by students of American history (in this part of the country at least) that in ;te both popular and standard works on the Revolutionary and pre-R evolutionary eras there is a singular failure to sv give any adequate account of the part taken by Penn Nsylvania in the struggles of those days, or of the ini fluence of her statesmen and soldiers in moulding the national policy. g Impressed with a belief that such opinions are not without foundation, and with the hope of calling the attention of students to what I venture to term certain lost chapters of our American history, I prepared some time ago a biography of that illustrious Pennsylvania statesman John Dickinson, a man who for various reasons is little known to this generation, but who, in the formative period of our history, so guided the policy of the country that his controlling influence is readily recognized as shaping that policy from the date of the Stamp A ct to that of the Declaration of I ndependence. With the same object in view I now present another chapter of that neglected history, that which relates to the achievements of a most distinguished soldier of Pennsylvania, General Anthony Wayne.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of General Anthony Wayne, a prominent soldier and statesman from Pennsylvania who played a pivotal role in the American Revolution. The author delves into Wayne's life from his early training as a surveyor and his family background to his rise as a military leader and his eventual appointment as Commander-in-Chief of the United States Army. The book highlights Wayne's military achievements, including his daring leadership during the Canadian campaign, his pivotal role in the Battles of Brandywine and Germantown, and his famous capture of Stony Point. The author examines the challenges Wayne faced, such as the Pennsylvania Line mutiny, and explores the complexities of his relationship with General Washington. The author also explores the political climate in Pennsylvania during the Revolution, and how Wayneââ â¢s actions reflected the shifting political landscape of the time. The book provides a unique perspective on the American Revolution from the standpoint of a Pennsylvanian soldier, offering a rich account of military strategy and tactics, the social and political conditions of the time, and the human cost of war. The author's exploration of Wayne's life, drawing on his own letters and correspondence, offers a nuanced understanding of the man behind the legend of ââ Å"Mad Anthonyââ  and his significant contributions to the founding of the United States.
