Summary
"[This resource] was written by newspaper editor Charles H. Kessler for the Bicentennial. It focuses on the roles of Lancaster City and County in the Revolution. Many major players had ties to Lancaster and Kessler follows all of their actions from 1774 - 1783. While it is interesting to read about the big names like Shippen, Hand, and Ross, this book is at its best when detailing what was going on in the average Lancastrian's life. The author had several battle plans mapped out...[and he] also include[s] pictures of some of the named individuals, a map segment of Lancaster City showing the proximity of the prisoner of war barracks to the armory, and pictures or photos of some of the buildings mentioned."

Summary
Abstract: Introducing a fresh metric—general courts-martial per thousand fit-for-duty troops—this article expands Valley Forge historiography by quantifying trial incidence in a forty-two-month context to suggest military justice played a significantly greater role over the winter of privation than previously thought. Courts-martial discipline, the essay argues, served as General Washington's fundamental instrument of command and control until drillmaster Baron von Steuben's iconic parade-ground regimen took hold. As Washington's unheralded "courtroom von Steuben," Judge Advocate General John Laurance superintended rule of military law over eighty tattered Valley Forge regiments by diligently enforcing the 1776 Articles of War among private soldiers, officers, and civilians alike.
