A propos de cet article

No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder mark. Pages are clean, crisp, and unmarked, but for a few tiny brown speckles (foxing) on the edges of the text block. Illustrated with a map of the Jersey shore, 1776-1783, and drawings of the ship, its utensils and furniture, colonial buildings, harbor views, etc. From the Dust Jacket: "She was the topsail schooner BLAZING STAR, built in 1765 at the little hamlet of Blazing Star on Staten Island Sound, Near what is today Sewaren, New jersey. Dr. Gilman recapture's the ship's history, telling its story through the eyes of a farm boy who grew up at sea during the Revolutionary period. [As] the restrictions piled up on the Crown Colonies after 1765, BLAZING STAR became engaged in contraband and smuggling. With the stamp Act and the closure of the ports, it smuggled tea, glass, paper, cloth, and even men hunted by the Crown. [When] George Washington stopped at the Rahway Tavern on his way to take command of the army at Cambridge, the men of the BLAZING STAR offered their services, and the ship went forth as a privateer, making her place in history, bathed in blood and drenched in fire throughout the American Revolution." List of chapter notes/sources. Bibliography. The title on the Dust Jacket is slightly different: BLAZING STAR, A NEW JERSEY PRIVATEER IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. Bound in the original black cloth, lettered in shiny silver on the spine. Keywords: Burlington County, New Jersey history. Revolutiony War. War for Independence. . First Edition. Hard Cover.

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
