Full Historical Report (including famous poem) <A HREF="http://gaspee.org/Knox.htm">Knox: The Destruction of the Gaspee</A> http://gaspee.org/Knox.htm Perhaps we can close this account of the destruction of the 'Gaspee' no more fittingly than by quoting in full a song descriptive of the deed, written by some lively patriot of the time: SONG. ''Twas in the reign of George the Third, Our public peace was much disturbed By ships of war that came and laid Within our ports to stop our trade. Seventeen hundred and seventy-two. In Newport harbor lay a crew, That played the part of pirates there, The sons of freemen could not bear. Sometimes they weighed and gave them chase, Such actions sure were very base. No honest coaster could pass by But what they would let some shot fly; And did provoke, to high degree, Those true born sons of liberty; So that they could no longer bear Those sons of Belial staying there. But 'twas not long 'fore it fell out That William Dudingston, so stout, Commander of the 'Gaspee' tender, Which he has reason to remember, Because, as people do assert, He almost had his just desert, Here on the tenth day of last June, Betwixt the hours of twelve and one, Did chase the sloop; called the 'Hannah,' Of whom one Lindsey was commander. They dogged her up Providence Sound, And there the rascal got aground. The news of it flew that very day, That they on Namquit Point did lay. That night about half after ten Some Narragansett Indian men, Being sixty-four, if I remember, Which made the stout coxcomb surrender; Then set the men upon the land, And burnt her up, we understand; Which thing provoked the king so high He said these men should surely die; So if he could but find them out, The hangman he'll employ, no doubt; For he's declared, in his passion, He'll have them tried a new fashion. Now for to find these people out King George has offered very stout; One thousand pounds to find out one That wounded William Dudingston. One thousand more he says he'll spare, For those who say they sheriffs were: One thousand more there doth remain For to find out the leader's name; Likewise five hundred pounds per man For any one of all the clan. But let them try their utmost skill, I'm apt to think he never will Find out any of those hearts of gold, Though he should offer fifty fold. <A HREF="http://gaspee.org/Knox.htm">Knox: The Destruction of the Gaspee</A>

IRISH NAVAL OFFICERS IN EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY by David F. O'Keefe http://members.aol.com/IrishWord/captains.htm During the American Revolution, there were approximately 33 Irish-Americans in command of armed schooners. When students of the 1700's America read about Irish participation in American history in the late 1700's and especially during the Revolutionary War period, they do not hear of the Irish merchant marine tradition and its contribution to the American Revolution. Yet historians, Michael J. O'Brien in particular, have gathered a great deal of information about Irish-American mariners before and at the time of the American Revolution.

Yesterday, the Ocean Institute of Dana Point, CA held a christening for their replica 1770's schooner, "The Spirit of Dana Point" The vessel will sail the CA coast for educational purposes. On hand to help were the Riverside Chapter SAR (4th Connecticut Regiment), the South Coast Chapter (Continental Marines), the Orange County Chapter (Lee's Legion) and the Redlands Chapter (Commander-in Chief's Guard). The drill was simple - march in to fife and drums, raise the flag, listen to speeches until the ship's cannon roared, then answer the cannon with two vollies of musket fire, more speeches, then march off. There are three pages of photos at: http://www.americanrevolution.org/danapoint.html As you'll note, we were short some musicians, so we managed to fill in by recruiting from the Mexican-American War and the Civil War. If you're curious, I'm the one in the last photo on the third page. Best regards, Ed -- For Revolutionary War information on the Internet, your first choice should be AMERICANREVOLUTION.ORG

What finds! Almost seems as if Lossing would be a good subject for a biography (not by me, however). Anne

Thrifty Yankees at Bunker Hill developed "spin"...... About military theory and discipline the Americans knew very little. Personal discipline, individual initiative, devotion to the duties of community life, and respect for fellow members of the community -- these were the cornerstones of life in the New England colonies. To the hardworking and thrifty Yankee farmers who awaited the British regulars on Breed's Hill, wasting anything was a sin, and wasting anything as valuable and hard to come by as ammunition was unthinkable. For years their lives had depended upon the ability to hit what they aimed at, whether it was game for the dinner table, or Frenchmen and Indians on the warpath. Some of them had discovered that a musket ball seated in a piece of greased paper and rammed into a grooved or "rifled" gun barrel, developed a spin which increased both accuracy and range. Very few of them possessed a bayonet. http://members.tripod.com/~grgordon/bunkerhi.htm

W. Bradley Morehouse, Dartmouth '47, wrote a long paper entitled "The Burning of Fairfield, which was later incorporated by Lynn Perrigo into The Burning of Fairfield, a compilation drawn from various accounts from the Pequot Library, in Southport, CT, and from the Fairfield Historical Society. In his extensive bibliography, Morehouse lists, as follows: "52. Humphreys, Col. David, "Elegy on the Burning of Fairfield," as quoted in Lossing, Benson J., The Pictorial Field-Book of the Revolution, New York, 1851, vol. I, p. 427." If I had not browsed through this bibliography, I would never have found the wondrous Field-Book (or, later, the Field-Book of the War of 1812, which I have).

One of the problems with the printed version of Lossing's work that still exists in the on-line version is "how to find things". Here is a search page that I set up for Bill Carr's site that will search both Rev War volumes plus as much of the 1812 volume as he has completed (about 2/3, I think). http://jrshelby.com/lossingsearch.htm It also contains a site map listing feature (which also has a search feature but not as good as the one on the front page).

Warner, New Hampshire in the Revolution Source: 1895 Sketch of Warner <A HREF="http://www.warner.nh.us/historical_sketch02.htm">An 1895 Sketch of Warner</A> Hubbard Carter, Thomas Palmer, John Palmer, Wells Davis, Joseph Clough, and William Lowell were in Stark's regiment at Bunker Hill The Revolutionary War rolls show many Warner men, enlisted for different periods of service or raised to fill up the Continental army. Among them were Amos Floyd, Philip Dowel, Jacob Waldron (Lieut.), Pasky Pressey, Daniel Young, Isaac Dalton, Stephen Colby, Solomon Annis, and Isaac Walker. The first physician of Warner, native born, was surgeon in the Army, Dr. John Hall. One other man must not be left out-a Negro, Anthony Clark, known throughout this region as "Old Tony" He may never have fought, but he carried water and distributed cartridges at Bunker Hill, and in his capacity of waiter he served Washington. He was present at many battles and at the surrender of Cornwallis. He used to fiddle for the officers, and after peace w as restored he drifted to Warner where he was reach with his fiddle for fifty years, dying at the age of about 102. http://www.warner.nh.us/historical_sketch02.htm
