Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lexington to Fallen Timbers, 1775-1794: Episodes From the Earliest History of Our Military Forces; Illustrated by Original Maps and Papers in the Clements Library of the University of Michigan
The new writing of history appears to treat war as a minor incident in the development of a people, and to stress in its place economic and social conditions. This natural reaction from the old worship of martial heroes, I believe to have gone too far. There IS nothing more dramatic than the facts of war; they supply unrivalled human Interest. But, further, war is in itself an economic and social factor of over whelming importance - Allen French, The Day of Lexington and Concord (boston, 1925) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
