Sweet land of liberty : the ordeal of the American Revolution in Northampton County, Pennsylvania

https://collections.lancasterhistory.org/en/permalink/lhdo14132

Author: Fox, Francis S.,

Date of Publication: c2000.

Call Number: 974.822 F791

Responsibility: Francis S. Fox.

ISBN: 0271020628 (alk. paper); 0271020636 (pbk. : alk. paper)

Author: Fox, Francis S.,

Place of Publication: University Park, Pa

Publisher: Pennsylvania State University Press,

Date of Publication: c2000.

Physical Description: xix, 212 p. : 1 map ; 24 cm.

Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [165]-207) and index.

Summary: "Sweet Land of Liberty reawakens the Revolution in Northampton County ( PA.) with sketches of men and women caught up in it. Seldom is this story told from the vantage point of common folks, let alone those in the backcountry. In Fox's hands, we see in these individuals an altogether more disturbing Revolution than we have ever reckoned with before...Fox's account will startle many readers for whom the Revolution symbolizes the high-minded pursuit of liberty... When the Revolution broke out, militias took control. Frontier justice replaced the rule of law as zealous patriots preoccupied themselves not with fighting the British but with seizing local political power and persecuting their pacifist neighbors."
