George Dana Boardman Pepper


Book Description

Excerpt from George Dana Boardman Pepper: A Biographical Sketch It was the desire of my father-in-law, expressed to me many years ago, and expressed again shortly before his death, that I should act as his biographer. Needless to say, I have felt honored in performing this service, but those who knew Dr. Pepper intimately will appreciate the difficulty of the task. I could only wish that my sketch were as true to life as the portrait by his son, Charles Hovey Pepper, which serves as a frontispiece.

Silas Deane, Revolutionary War Diplomat and Politician


Book Description

Silas Deane was the victim of one of the most vicious character assassination conspiracies ever carried out in the Revolutionary War era. Even after almost two and a half centuries, he remains in the eyes of many modern historians, "worse than Arnold," his boyhood friend. This is very wrong. Because Deane was such a capable individual in his endeavors very early in the war, he became the political target of envious others with quite different abilities and philosophies. Even so, his political strength kept growing and in 1776 Congress appointed him America's first secret agent to secure military supplies from France for Washington's army. This biography is written on the man himself and on the malicious and largely successful lies and intrigues by his rivals. The work does not downplay the contributions of his contemporaries, especially those of his close friend throughout, Benjamin Franklin, but shows exactly where specific credit should be placed. A lot of credit for the new nation's success belongs to him.
