We Spared Not the Capital of America e-bog

Using anecdotes and quotations from contemporary sources, this book attempts to revive the passions, fears and emotions of those involved while simultaneously outlining the campaigning that took place during this largely unjustifiable war. The fiecely independent minded farmers of New England, the party-going folk of Pennsylvania, the quayside merchant determined to make his living and the redcoat -all wish their stories to be told. Their deeds, their ambitions and their aspirations have contributed to the framework upon which today's American society is based.
