List of Works Relating to the French Alliance


Book Description

Excerpt from List of Works Relating to the French Alliance: In the American Revolution This list was prepared for the volume entitled "Rocham-beau Commemoration by the Congress of the United States of America of the services of the French auxiliary forces in the War of Independence, prepared by the authority of Congress under the direction of the Joint Committee on the Library. By De B. Randolph Keim." The publication of that work being delayed, it was decided to print this list separately. It gives first titles of works relating to the French alliance, then United States Government documents. The remaining titles are grouped under the headings, "Marquis de Lafayette," "The French Fleet in the American Revolution," "The Siege of Yorktown."

Brothers at Arms


Book Description

Pulitzer Prize Finalist in History Winner of the Journal of the American Revolution 2016 Book of the Year Award At the time the first shots were fired at Lexington and Concord the American colonists had little chance, if any, of militarily defeating the British. The nascent American nation had no navy, little in the way of artillery, and a militia bereft even of gunpowder. In his detailed accounts Larrie Ferreiro shows that without the extensive military and financial support of the French and Spanish, the American cause would never have succeeded. Ferreiro adds to the historical records the names of French and Spanish diplomats, merchants, soldiers, and sailors whose contribution is at last given recognition. Instead of viewing the American Revolution in isolation, Brothers at Arms reveals the birth of the American nation as the centerpiece of an international coalition fighting against a common enemy.
