A propos de cet article

xv, [1], 2111, [3] pages. Chronology. Illustrations. Maps. Notes. Appendix 1. Appendix 2. Bibliography. Index. Autographed sticker on title page. Signed by co-author Dr. Todd E. Harburn on the title page. Todd E. Harburn, an independent scholar, orthopedic surgeon, and doctor of sports medicine, is coauthor of A Most Troublesome Situation: The British Military and the Pontiac Indian Uprising of 1763–1764. A Vindication of My Conduct: The Court Martial Trial of Lieutenant Colonel George Etherington of the 60th or Royal American Regiment held on the Island of St. Lucia in the West Indies, October 1781 and the Extraordinary Story of the Surrender of the Island of St. Vincent’s in the British Caribbean during the American Revolution – Dr. Todd E. Harburn and Rodger Durham. The fascinating story of the surrender of St. Vincent’s Island, and the subsequent attempt by the colonial governor to make the military commander a scapegoat, is presented here from a fresh perspective based on new research and previously unpublished documentation. A Vindication of My Conduct outlines this intertwined story of plots and subplots involving not only the colonial governor, Valentine Morris, and Lt. Col. George Etherington of the famed 60th Royal American Regiment, but also the Colonial Assembly, the Carib Indians of the island, the plantation owners and merchants, the British Government, and the 60th Royal American Regiment, which garrisoned the various posts on the island. It illustrates the folly that occurred between military and civilian factions that ultimately contributed to the lost British cause–much like that which occurred simultaneously in the American colonies. The main feature of this book is the original, controversial, and never before published 1781 trial transcript which reveals the true "behind the scenes" story, not the least of which entailed a land grant dispute and the intense personality conflict that existed between Etherington and Morris. The book contains several rarely seen original illustrations, documents, and prints, including Etherington’s recently discovered portrait, along with present-day photographs of the sites where these events actually took place. It is arranged in three parts: a chronological background of the events leading to the surrender; the original unedited trial transcript; and the authors’ in-depth analysis, annotation, and edit of the transcripts. This is of particular interest since other historians have written only brief, very similar general accounts, all of which basically reached the same erroneous conclusions, and which a review of the transcripts does not support.…
