A propos de cet article

Very good; no jacket as issued. Spotting to the covers all around; previous owner's bookplate else clean and unmarked. 1st printing, no others noted. Indexed. "He was appointed a major of Colonel Daniel Hitchcock's Regiment at the outbreak of the American Revolution. He served with the regiment in the Siege of Boston. When the Continental Army was reorganized on January 1, 1776, Hitchcock's Regiment was re-designated as the 11th Continental Infantry. Late in 1776, Hitchcock was appointed as a brigade commander and Angell assumed command of the regiment. The regiment was re-designated as the 2nd Rhode Island Regiment on January 1, 1777, and Angell was promoted to lieutenant colonel of the regiment. A few days later, he was promoted to colonel in command of the regiment following the death of Colonel Hitchcock on January 13, 1777. Angell served at Valley Forge in the Winter of 1777 to 1778, and in the following battles: Siege of Boston (1775); Battle of Brandywine (1777); Battle of Red Bank (1777); Battle of Monmouth (1778); Battle of Rhode Island (1778); Battle of Springfield (1780) He was particularly distinguished in the Battle of Springfield, where he withheld a key bridge from British troop advances. He received recognition correspondence for this act of heroism from George Washington and Nathanael Greene. He also served at various places in Rhode Island and New Jersey and along highlands of the Hudson River, most notably at Peekskill and West Point. He retired from the army on January 1, 1781, after the two Rhode Island regiments were consolidated into a single regiment known as the Rhode Island Regiment." The front endpaper bears the armorial bookplate of George H. Thacher, an Albany business man and several times mayor of that city.
