--New York Times
In November 1848, Benson J. Lossing began a journey across the United States to document locations important to the American Revolution. Beginning in New York, his mission was to visit the southern portions of what used to be the original thirteen colonies. He interviewed veterans of the American Revolution and recorded their accounts in The Pictorial Field-Book of the Revolution.
In this first book in a three-volume set, Lossing includes his own sketches of various landmarks such as Cedars Rapids in present-day Iowa, where nearly four hundred American soldiers occupied a small fortress in the spring of 1776. From the preparations of defensives to the political legacy of Queen Elizabeth I and how religious persecution during her era affected the early colonies, this book is an essential addition to the shelves of schools, libraries, and everyone who enjoys history and the country's fight for liberty.
Benson J. Lossing was a prolific editor, illustrator, historian, and arguably one of the finest wood engravers of his time. His research sent him traveling "with note-book and pencil in hand" throughout America, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. He visited nearly every place made memorable by the Revolutionary War and recorded his research so that future generations would know the personal history of America.
Lossing's Pictorial Field Book of the War of 1812, published by Pelican, is available in two volumes.
