SUMMARY:New Jersey in the American Revolution Presented by Author Arthur S. Lefkowitz
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT TAKES PLACE AT MONTGOMERY LIBRARY\, 100 COMMUNITY DRIVE\, SKILLMAN\, NJ 08558. \nThis program is based on the presenter’s book “George Washington’s Revenge: The 1777 New Jersey Campaign and How General Washington Turned Defeat into the Strategy That Won the Revolution”.In late August 1776\, a badly defeated Continental Army retreated from Long Island to Manhattan. By early November\, George Washington’s inexperienced army withdrew further into New Jersey and\, by the end of the year\, into Pennsylvania. During this dark night of the American Revolution—“the times that try men’s souls”—Washington began developing the strategy that would win the war. In this illuminating account\, Arthur Lefkowitz reveals how George Washington turned defeat into victory. \nDuring his retreat across New Jersey\, Washington reconceived the war: keep the army mobile\, target isolated detachments of the British Army\, rely on surprise and deception\, form partisan units\, and avoid large-scale battles. This new strategy first bore fruit in the crossing of the Delaware on Christmas night 1776 and the attack on the British at Trenton and Princeton. From there\, Washington took up winter quarters at Morristown\, New Jersey\, and moved into the mountains\, an ideal position from which to check British movements toward Philadelphia or north up the Hudson. The British tried and failed several times to coax Washington into a decisive battle. Stymied\, the British were forced to attack Philadelphia by sea\, and they would not be able to seize Philadelphia in time to support the British invasion of upstate New York which ended in defeat at Saratoga. \nLefkowitz relies on a lifetime of deep research on the Revolutionary War and close knowledge of New Jersey to tell this exciting\, important story whose impact rippled throughout the rest of the war.

SUMMARY:Explaining the "Ten Crucial Days" of the Revolution - Presented by Author David Price
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT TAKES PLACE AT BRIDGEWATER LIBRARY\, 1 VOGT DRIVE\, BRIDGEWATER\, NJ 08807 \nIn his new book\, “Winning the Ten Crucial Days: The Keys to Victory in George Washington’s Legendary Winter Campaign\,” David Price examines this pivotal moment in the War of Independence through an interpretive framework that centers around five key factors: leadership\, geography\, weather\, artillery\, and contingency. \nHis focus differs from earlier works that are largely a chronological account. The confluence of these overlapping factors seemingly conspired to frustrate British designs at a critical moment in their effort to overpower the American rebellion. Although each was important in its own right\, their aggregate influence on the course of events reflected the mutually reinforcing nature of these elements. They enabled George Washington’s army to win the “Ten Crucial Days” and propel the revolutionary cause into a lengthy war of attrition that eventuated in American independence. \nAccording to the author and historian\, Edward G. Lengel\, Price has given us “a timely and intriguing reappraisal of George Washington’s most outstanding military campaign.” Author and historian Mark Edward Lender notes\, “the approach is novel and revealing.” Jack Kelly\, author of several books on the Revolution\, calls this “a fascinating and insightful look at a critical period of history.” And the prominent British wargames magazine “Miniature Wargames”\, first published in 1983\, observes that the book “contains much useful information and is well worth reading.” \nIn addition to his newest work\, Price has authored four other books\, including a pair about the“Ten Crucial Days”—The Road to Assunpink Creek” and “Rescuing the Revolution”—as well as “John Haslet’s World” and “The Battle of Harlem Heights\, 1776”. The latter is part of the Westholme Small Battle series and was accepted into the permanent collection of the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History. \nPrice has been awarded the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution Bronze Good Citizenship Medal and Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of his work as an author\, speaker\, and historical interpreter at Washington Crossing Historic Park (PA) and Princeton Battlefield State Park (NJ). Since 2021\, he has written fourteen scholarly articles for the prestigious\, peer-reviewed Journal of the American Revolution\, three of which have been selected by the editorial board for inclusion in its annual hardcover volume. More information about the author and his work can be found at dpauthor.com.

SUMMARY:George Washington's Indispensable Men - Presented by Author Arthur S. Lefkowitz
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT TAKES PLACE AT HILLSBOROUGH LIBRARY\, 379 S. BRANCH ROAD\, HILLSBOROUGH TOWNSHIP NJ 08844.\nAuthor\, Arthur S. Lefkowitz will talk about his book: “George Washington’s Indispensable Men: Alexander Hamilton\, Tench Tilghman\, and the Aides-de-Camp Who Helped Win American Independence.”\nWhile history has immortalized George Washington\, it has largely forgotten those who helped to propel him to greatness—the thirty-two men who served as his aides-de-camp during the Revolutionary War. Washington relied heavily on these men—among them a young Alexander Hamilton—for help in formulating policy and strategy.\n“George Washington’s Indispensable Men” details the fascinating and sometimes tragic lives of these aides\, providing a new and refreshing look at the American Revolution. \nPresenter: Arthur S. Lefkowitz is known for tackling offbeat but interesting subjects that present a research challenge. All of his books deal with some aspect of the American Revolution and his unique subjects include the story of the American Turtle submarine; the 1775 Arnold Expedition; the wartime exploits of Aaron Burr and George Washington’s Revolutionary War aides-de-camp. His latest book is titled “George Washington’s Revenge”.
