American crisis : George Washington and the dangerous two years after Yorktown, 1781-1783 / William M. Fowler, Jr. by Fowler, William M., 1944- New York : Walker & Co., 2011. Subjects Washington, George, 1732-1799.   United States -- History -- Revolution, 1775-1783. ISBN:  9780802717061 (hbk 0802717063 Description:  340 p., [8] p. of plates : ill., maps ; 25 cm. Edition:  1st U.S. ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  Most people believe the American Revolution ended in October, 1781, after the battle of Yorktown; in fact the war continued for two more traumatic years. During that time, the Revolution came closer to being lost than at any time previously. The British still held New York, Savannah, Wilmington, and Charleston; the Royal Navy controlled the seas; the states--despite having signed the Articles of Confederation--retained their individual sovereignty and, largely bankrupt themselves, refused to send any money in the new nation's interest; members of Congress were in constant disagreement; and the Continental army was on the verge of mutiny. Historian William Fowler chronicles these tumultuous and dramatic years, from Yorktown until the British left New York in November 1783. At their heart was the remarkable speech Gen. George Washington gave to his troops encamped north of New York in Newburgh, quelling a brewing rebellion that could have overturned the nascent government.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.3 Fo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.3 Fowler Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.3 Fo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
