You can read a firsthand account of the daring Sag Harbor raid by the common soldier who conceived it and eyewitness descriptions of Arnold's escape to the British and of Andre's execution. There are six confessions by spies, three Indian captivity narratives, two accounts by black veterans, and autobiographical sketches by two women~one of which provides a fine description of the Yorktown surrender. Difficult as it is to believe, with a single exception, not one of these accounts has ever been published before. The Revolution Remembered was made possible by an 1832 act of Congress~the first comprehensive pension act for veterans of the Revolutionary War. To apply for a pension, a soldier had to indicate the time and place of his service, the names of units and officers, and engagements in which he participated. In most cases applicants told their stories to a court clerk or reporter; some presented their stories in open court; others related their experiences to lawyers and attested to their narratives in court. The pension application process thus constituted one of the largest oral history projects ever undertaken. John C. Dann has sifted through the entire collection of applications and on the basis of historical importance and readability has selected those presented here. In their totality, the pension files give the reader a refreshing, uninhibited view of the war. Thinking back a half~century, the participants do occasionally recall the patriotic fervor portrayed in history books, but they also remember the physical hardships and senseless brutality, the soldiers' pranks, and the inconveniences of being drafted. Thoroughly indexed by names, places, and events, and illustrated with related period prints, The Revolution Remembered makes available to all a unique body of historical data on one of the most unusual armies ever to win a war.

B&W Illustrations; 9 1/4 x 12 1/4; 179 pages; Signed and inscibed inside front end paper: 'To Linda Chapman, fellow library ______, With best wishes, John C Dann. ', Hard cover is blue with blue lettering on front and spine. Matching DJ, in a mylar cover. Very faint…rubbing. Blue endpapers. Pages are clean and tight; appears as if unused. 'In 1920, Clements offered his collection to the University of Michigan, along with $175,000 (plus $15,000 for furnishings and equipment) to build a suitable home for it. Noted Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869-1942) designed the Clements Library in the Italian Renaissance style, based on Vignola's casino for the Villa Farnese, ca.1587, in Caprarola, Italy. In Kahn's plan, the casino, a one-story building, was enlarged to two stories, the roof flattened, the windows lengthened, and an elegant triple-arched entrance created. Finally, Kahn further ornamented the limestone exterior with relief sculpture and inlaid marble, the whole resulting in a building of extraordinary beauty and architectural coherence.As his personal fortune grew, Clements cultivated a passion for history and rare books, concentrating on Americana, particularly books written contemporaneously with the events they describethe primary sources for early American history.concentrating on two periods of American historythe discovery, exploration, and colonization of America by Europeans from the 15th through the 17th centuries, and late 18th century colonial and revolutionary America.opened in 1923 with the gift of Clements' extraordinary Americana collection ~~ 20,000 volumes of rare books, 2,000 volumes of early newspapers, several hundred maps, and the papers of Lord Shelburne, the British Prime Minister who negotiated the peace ending the Revolutionary War'. Illustrated with 100+ b/w facsimiles of the precious items in this wonderful archive. A truly beautiful and singular building in the center of U Michigan Ann Arbor main campus.
