The Other New York: The American Revolution beyond New York City, 1763-1787Eugene R. Fingerhut, Joseph S. Tiedemann SUNY Press, 17 mar 2005 - 246 pagine The Other New York provides the first comprehensive look at New York State s rural areas during the American Revolution. This county-by-county survey of the regions outside of New York City describes the social and cultural conditions on the eve of the Revolution and details the events leading up to the conflict, the battles and campaigns fought within the state, the hardships civilians experienced while creating new local governments and supplying the war effort, and postwar reconstruction efforts. It also chronicles the impact that the war had on the European Americans, Native Americans, and African Americans. These groups endured years of strife yet went on to create New York State. |
