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."
