Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
Two volumes. xv,399; xv,449,[13]pp., plus fifteen engraved maps and plans (eleven folding). Half titles. Contemporary marbled calf, gilt leather labels. Front hinges rubbed, spine and extremities worn. Closed tear in leaf R3 of first volume. Bookplates on front pastedowns. Scattered light foxing, maps somewhat tanned. About very good. A work that is fundamental to any collection of books relating to the American Revolution. Stedman's HISTORY is "generally considered the best contemporary account of the Revolution written from the British side" (Sabin). Stedman was a native of Philadelphia, a Loyalist who served as an officer under Howe, Clinton, and Cornwallis, and later became an examiner of Loyalist claims for the British government. He had firsthand knowledge of many of the campaigns and persons involved in the effort. He is critical of Howe, and describes all the major theatres of war, as well as individual battles from Bunker Hill to Yorktown. The beautifully engraved maps (the largest of which is approximately 20 x 30 inches) constitute the finest collection of plans assembled by an eyewitness. They depict the sieges of Savannah and Charlestown, plus the battles of Saratoga, Camden, Guilford, Hobkirk's Hill, and Yorktown. HOWES S914, "b." JCB II:372. LOWNDES V, p.2504. SABIN 91057. WINSOR VI, p.518. NEBENZAHL, BATTLE PLANS OF THE REVOLUTION 29, 55, 57, 76, 87, 90-93, 101, 113, 116, 139, 184, 201. REESE, REVOLUTIONARY HUNDRED 89. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers WRCAM38890H
